No kidding. Seriously, wtf are you talking about? Is your friend a girl or a guy? Let's try and find out...

Drops of his dad at the airport in their new mb sl350 (it was his dad)

Ok, your friend is a guy... no wait...

She starts He obviously says no and waits for the cops to show up

Maybe a girl?

My coworker then starts telling his side of the story

Ok, your friend is definitely a guy.

They had just bought the car a short time ago, and it had been a gift from his dad to his mom and they were going to give it to her after his dad got back.

That was the guys opinion. He thought the cop was acting unprofessional/improperly, and flagrantly misjudging him.

The guy's opinion was that the cop was white? Did the cop have a different opinion or something?

The guy's opinion is that white people tend to act unprofessionally? "Dude, you look black to me, but since you're so unprofessional, I guess you must be white on the inside."

I still don't understand what race has to do with it.

That's what the guy said..I am just repeating it. He said that there he was, almost killed by her, and the cop was being mean to him and nice to her.

I think I'd be more offended that the cop thought I drove a VW.

Was it a Jetta? Because it would be incomprehensible for the cop NOT to correctly identify the Jetta driver as the young female.

So he drops of his dad at the airport in a new Mercedes sl350. (it was his dad's car)

While on his way to class, my coworker gets t-boned in an intersection by a volkswagon.
