Black vs. White; Poor vs. Rich!

Big news today is the death of a rich (a very rich) American in London and the arrest of her husband, a rich Swede, for driving while using drugs and on a possible murder charge.  What's particularly interesting is the following from a Times story today:

Four years ago, they gained notoriety when Ms. Rausing was caught with crack cocaine and heroin in her purse as she entered the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square here to attend a reception.At that time, according to court records quoted by The Press Association news agency, a police search of their home unearthed further stashes of crack cocaine, heroin and cocaine.The prosecution was later dropped and the Rausings were released with conditional cautions from the police.

What's not at all surprising is that Mrs. Rausing, a friend of Prince Charles, would be given a caution after trying to bring illegal drugs into the American Embassy.  Can anyone believe that if a poor black man were caught trying to bring drugs into the same Embassy that he'd receive a caution? He'd probably be locked up for years.  And if he were Irish, probably forever, after being categorized as a terrorist.  England and the United States are very alike, and that's aside from their common language.
