I consider you a friend, therefore of course I care about what you think of me.

However, I'm pretty sure you don't think I'm a racist, so.

(As far as the RaceFail posting pressure things go - I really don't feel the need, personally, because if someone doesn't know me well enough to make a call on whether I'm a racist or not, they don't know me well enough for me to care about their opinions, and if they do know me better than that, I think my record of behaviour speaks better and more convincingly than any post I might make to LJ.)
