You asked me how a person charged with racism (suspected of racism) should defend himself. I answered your question: He can't. If you see a flaw in my reasoning, let me know.

Obviously, and it should go without saying, if the accuser "suspends judgement" he is no longer making an accusation of racism, so your initial question is....kind of....pointless.

So, you're saying that an innocent person will have to suffer the consequences of getting stuck in unlucky situation. Didn't they make you watch 12 Angry Men in France?

I said nothing of the sort.
