I had a friend who got pulled over for being in a car full of nicely dressed young white guys in a certain neighborhood because it was assumed they were there to either buy or sell drugs. They were just lost and had drive into the wrong neighborhood, as this was back before ubiquitous smartphones.
I get a pat down every time I go through an airport because my long hair sets off the scanner and they have to make sure i don't have anything hidden in the small of my back. Also a white dude. Doesn't help that my ID photo gives off distinct unabomber vibes.
I frequently get asked if I've got weed or if I'm selling weed, both by the cops and random strangers. I never have weed. It's weird the things people conclude based on appearance.
