"but I often cross borders and am not checked"
Look in a mirror. You might see a very similar sight than me: white, tall, middle aged without a Britney Spears or ACAB face tattoo.
Just like nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqy98u6vcmvnxz0vt0z6d37827zxwzt7zy3dxzxr60x9sd9awh62mq8yy789 (nprofile…y789) I often don't get checked personally (and just like him I often remind them they forgot all the non-brown people).
But others are. For example on the Flensburg - Kolding train this week. Of the ten passengers eight were completely ignored. The two "spanish looking guys" got checked. They were Danish.
quoting3) I’m a tall, white, middle aged guy. This means I’m as unlikely to be controlled as anyone. I’m in a privileged position and I know it. So I will stand up for those less able to push back than I can!

4) I’ll argue this even at borders where I don’t speak the language
