Josh,

I read the image and thought, you meant you can't have a racist, sexist
thought in your body and I looked at myself and thought
"I have racist and sexist thoughts. I might be a racist sexist pig. I am
not welcome here. Let me find another project."

So something like:

Try to be helpful and respectful when talking with people in the community.

Thanks,
Regina
