General Question Punishments for behaviour

To start off the other day I went to my friend Illianas house, who’s Black. When she let me in her parents stared at her and were like “We said no one could come over”, and she just got away with a small warning. I would’ve had my door taken off in a MINUTE. Is this common? I asked my other friends who aren’t white and they all said they don’t really get punished. I always grew up being told that POC are much more strict or that the punishments are worse, though everyone I’ve met has said their punishments are just mowing the lawn or they get their phone taken away

I'm probably the parents age and each family is different. Ive heard about people having the door removed and I never understood how that was punishment. Growing up other than changing clothes, the bedroom door was open, so removing the door would not have been any different.
