BBM. You are using incredibly twisted logic. If you knowingly give someone a reason to be suspicious of you then you shouldn't pretend surprise if your actions provoke the reaction you expect. I told my 13-year-old this many, many years ago after he complained a store security guard shadowed him and his cousin who were garbed in their "goth" attire. Duh!
If you don't want the attention, then don't call attention to yourself. It's pretty a common sense lesson that most parents do teach.

Being a person of color isn't calling attention to oneself. People of color are treated with suspicion and fear every day.
