first since you said harvard it reminded me of henry louis gates getting arrested in his house for “disorderly conduct” after being questioned for breaking into his own house, HAVING PROVEN ALREADY IT WAS HIS HOUSE. sure sure, he said some unpleasant things, but it was his first amendment right and he was not prosecuted because there was no case against him.
...later another cop called him a jungle monkey...
second, yes, money confers privilege, but in some circumstances race erases it
e.g., just quickly googled some terms and blam

i dont know who this hypothetical or actual daughter of a banker might be, or in what circumstances she would say but, but money is not everything
last, here an english journo explains how/why you might be missing the point:

Man, I have to say at this point, I'm actually experiencing this shit on a daily basis. Anyone who has contact with a university right now who won't privately admit (they'd likely lose their job if they ever uttered it on campus) that this shit is rife and going way beyond what you're talking about, is either a liar or one of the lunatics actually endorsing it (and they're all over academia at the moment). Universities are in absolute crisis over this. The fact you weren't aware of it is alarming, not because you're wilfully ignorant (which you obviously aren't) but because the news obviously just isn't getting out. Humanities departments, especially, are now little more than Intersectionality propaganda machines, and anyone who doesn't buy into it is essentially purged.
Believe me you wouldn't wanna be a white working class, brexit-voting, heterosexual male, working in a university art department right now.
