Sentences January 16

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. I don't know what he must think (must be thinking) about me for having missed the appointment.



2. I don't like to be classifed by a color. ( here I am trying to say that I don't like to be referred by the color of my skin.)



3. Please don't break the folds of those clothes (I am telling a child not to mess with a heap of ironed clothes).

Thanks,

MG.
