"I don't want to sound like a bigot" gets me 2980 hits on Google. Yours is at the top. It is one of the rare examples that is not followed (immediately or not) by the word "but."

We should make a habit of emphasizing how much we don't want to sound like bigots. "I don't want to sound like a bigot, but do you know how late the library is open tonight?" "I don't want to sound like a bigot, but Jefferson City is the capital of Missouri."
