I'd like to think I'm an advocate on the ally spectrum. I know there are times when I fail in this, but I am working hard to shut down the racist speech and attitudes of those around me. I share information when asked and show people how they could be contributing to the institutional racism that we as white people are fed from the time we can hear, until the time we start to think for ourselves and begin to question why things are. I champion inclusion wherever I can, especially in the groups that I'm involved in that have traditionally been "white people's clubs" (Burning Man and Star Trek - even though the show has been inclusive in itself since the beginning, fandom really hasn't been, unfortunately)
