There are very significant differences between cultures due to their history, legal systems and many other factors.

To claim otherwise, in a weak attempt at political correctness, is not likely to be convincing or change the facts.

In the United States or Europe citizens don't normally attempt to bribe a policeman to avoid a citation, but they will in Mexico. In Brazil the approach is, "Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Implying that your social status should exempt you from police action.

These are significant cultural differences which are unrelated to how wealthy you are.
