The guy in question is stating that quite clearly. Clearly being black was suspicious enough for the photographer in question. Would be interesting to see some of his other photographs.

Nonsense! The old if you have nothing to hide then you should not mind defence is plain bollocks? Should we accept black/white/indian/coloured/asian strangers taking pictures of the kids and nannies in the kiddies park. The kids and nannies have nothing to hide and its for the good of everyone that they are being photographed. Suspicion is most often in the eye of the beholder. Colour matters. You may like to think it does not but it most certainly does.
