The Sex Pistols thought that clash was racists just because of the words "WHITE riot"
But the song isn't any racist song, it's just about that they were the only white men in a riot!
So if anyone of you are that dumb that you think clash are racists you should think again!
I don't think the Pistols ever said this. John Lydon criticised the Clash for doing a reggae cover because he thought this was patronising to Jamaican reggae artists(a whole other debate!), but there wasn't an issue over this song. I think one student union banned the Clash from playing because they thought White riot was racist, but most people understood the point of the song.
