Also these types of phrases...
"I'm not a racist, but..."
"I don't want to sound harsh, but...."
Whenever someone leads into a statement with one of these prhases you can rest assured that they ARE racist and DO want to sound harsh.
There is one exception to this kind of phrase which can stay...demonstrated below because of its intrinisic comedic value.
