My Black colleague and I were assigned to share a desk at work, but I do not feel comfortable working with him. How can I request a seat change without sounding too offensive?

I understand that you both have been assigned to share a desk, but I would prefer to work in a different location. Would it be possible to find another spot in the office? It's no one's fault, and I don't want to come off as judgmental - I just think it might help us both concentrate and do our best work.

I understand our situations require us to share a desk at work, however, I'd like to request a seat change if possible. I feel that our working styles might be slightly incompatible and would prefer to sit somewhere else. Please let me know if there is anything that you could do about this. My main priority is being able to work comfortably and efficiently with whoever I’m sitting near. Thanks in advance for taking my concerns into consideration!
