Eh. I agree with you that calling their owners low class is a dog whistle (no pun intended.) But dog breeds are bred to do things; acknowledging that fact is not comparable to racism. It rubs me the wrong way when people act like acknowledging retrievers retrieve, pointers point, shepherds shepherds, and my pitbull terrier will kill a rabbit in a heart beat if he was allowed to - is comparable to racism. It feels like you’re equating racism - which is completely unfounded - to acknowledging that genetics in dogs have an impact on behavior
Just to be clear - I own a pitbull and have owned a wheaten terrier
Seriously, I don’t see how equating the two is not actually more racist - you’re saying that black peoples and ethnic minorities are facing discrimination like dogs

Are you comparing black people or minorities to dogs

Can we post a thread about Chesapeake? Feel like we should have solidarity with other Virginians
I’m making my Mac and Cheese and driving to Baltimore to see family
