So what is interesting is that a black officer profiled you, whom I
surmise is (are?) a white man. I am guessing they were looking for
people whose shades fall somewhere between you two.
Same thing happened to us in South Texas once, but the LE were La Migra.

Coupla days ago, I was en route to my rental house, when I encountered a NC Highway Patrol license check
point just down a hill and around a curve from a chicken processing plant. Immediately upon seeing the
flashing lights and the officers in the road, I pulled out my wallet and had my "license" ready as
I pulled up to the tall, slim and nice-looking young black man in his immaculate uniform. As I reached
toward him with the card, and as he was reaching for it, I realized that I was handing him my military ID
card instead of my license. I suddenly laughed as I was pulling it back to retrieve the right card and said,
"Oh, I pulled out the wrong card." He also chuckled and said as he waved me on, "Oh, you're
alright, go ahead."
By the way, that's the sixth time in about 2 months that I encountered such
check points somewhere in the area of that processing plant, but I had never
seen that officer before.
If you're wondering why I would pull out my military ID at such a check point,
it's 'cause that's what I hafta do when entering the local (or any) Air Force
or military base - so, force of habit. 'Have had to show my license only very
rarely in 62 years of having one. 'Have shown it more in the last 2 months out
near that chicken plant than I have in many years.
