This is going to sound like I'm some kind of ...

It's funny how every time somebody starts a statement with the preamble, “You’ll probably think I sound like some racist (add or substitute ‘sexist’, ‘xenophobic’, ‘homophobic’, etc.) jerk, but I’ve got to say …”, they invariably finish their statement with something which could lead to no other conclusion.

They seem to think that this preamble immunizes them from the any implications of the statements that follow.

It doesn’t.
