Rich white kids know who butters the bread. These kids put up the typical 'scene' which pisses off the ROW

However, I would imagine the cops who were called in at those parties didn't enter the scene swearing at the kids (they too know who butters the bread).
And those white kids also don't have to worry about a certain 'history' when it comes to cops. The black kids at the pool party have cause to fear for their lives when cops come in swearing at them, escalating the situation. I am sure the cops who approached the 'Cape Cod' party, did so with deescalation in mind, and white kids at the Cod have very little to fear with regards that the cops might just kill them because they aren't the 'right' color.
