I am a black man, and I have dealt with this too. Here is few hacks I came up with.
1. In your profile picture wear one or more of the following fedora, suspenders, thick rimmed glasses, and a bow tie.
2. Position a white or (more ideally) an Asian woman center frame, and position yourself behind her left-center.
3. Have some animals in the picture. Cats are easy, ponies work best.
Try to add other things that make you less threatening, eg. babies and ice cream.
