"I'm not racist, but" oh, they are going to say something racist.
It's fun to put "I'm not racist but" in front of totally innocuous statements.
I'm not racist but there's a blue Hyundai parked outside my building.
It still works. If I heard that my first thought would be "who are they racist against?"
βIβm not racist but the weather is nice todayβ
I use something similar often. "I'm not racist but the color of the bread is white."
See also, "Nobody likes to say it out loud, but..."
"The hard truth is..." something completely obvious.
Something completely untrue.
"I'm not gay but..." proceeds to say the gayest thing you have ever heard.
