I cannot vouch for that either way. My experience from Europe is that A LOT depends on your clothing and general demeanor.

An Indian dressed a in silk three piece suit and a Philippe Patek watch on his wrist will be treated with obsequious deference by the store personnel. A Roma guy dressed as stereotypical Roma will be suspected and followed. Their skin colors are identical.

At the end of the day, money talks.

I can tell you one anecdote — I have a Nigerian friend who is very high up at a FAANG, well dressed and mannered (and wealthy), who is pulled over _monthly_ in the Bay Area driving a fancy SUV. Nearly every time they ask him “is this your car?”

The US has a very different relationship with race than your country.
