Well thanks, I appreciate it.
I definitely agree with the non-verbal communication bit. It took me a while to understand that, but now that I do, it makes things much easier.
I think a strong part of what you're describing is that you need to be on point with your non-verbal communication; you need to both tell people that you won't take offense to constructive criticism, and signal it with a lot of cues.
Telling people "this is an example of prejudice, this is how I react to it, if you don't act like this you're clear" is a pretty smooth move too.
