Roight, this one is pretty wierd, so bear with me.
As soon as you tell a 'counter-racist' (bit of an oxymoron in regards to them) that you are a white person, they will instantly label you a racist suspect. In other words, if you're white, they think you're a racist, no middle ground. The logic behind this is that because of this [mythical!] system of White Supremacy, any white person is capable of practicing racism and is therefore a suspected racist.
No, how logical does that sound? Apart from the fact that it's blatant racism, it doesn't even make sense. Pretty much all the people in the world are capable of being rapists, should we treat them as if we think they're rapists? Worse, everyone over the age of 18 is capable of being a paedophile (which incidentally, has an 'a' in it, damn American spelling), should we treat them as if we think they are a paedophile? Obviously, merely having the ability to do something IS NOT enough to label them a suspect, but hey, since when do racists think logically?
My suggestion, next time you get called a "Racist suspect" or "Suspected Racist", answer with "To the suspected paedophile..." and walk them through their own logic.
