She like Stone are white, have money and power and can make bail. But minorities, even accused of shoplifting, or pot possession are far more likely to be treated more severely than a white person charged with a similar crime.
Wow. That's just...wow. Not getting shot by cops equals white privilege?

Yea it does. How much do you want bet, that if a black actress were accused of the same trying to get her daughter into a school by cheating, that her bail would be higher and if convicted her sentence longer?
FYI I am white. Once I was playing with a toy cap gun as a kid, back when it was legal to make them full scale and realistic. I was shooting it off. Someone called the cops on me. Cop showed up, jumped out of his car, drew his gun on me. I didn't get shot. As an adult I once was speeding through a neighborhood because I had left work feeling sick, trying to get to my girlfriend's house at the time. A speed trap got me, I did pull over, but was so upset I pulled out my wallet and threw it at the cop through my window. Both times I did not end up dead.
But even without a black person dying. A black person charged with the same crime the actress was accused of, is far more likely to have a higher bail, and more likely to serve more time if convicted of the same crime.
The fact is, between whites and minorities, even between violent and non violent crimes, minorities ON AVERAGE get treated more harshly with fines, and sentences and are far more likely to get injured or killed interacting with police.
It still remains that if I get pulled over for pot possession, vs any minority, even if they make it to jail and trial, that minority is far more likely to get treated more harshly than I would under similar conditions.
