    When logic fails, accuse the other side of racism.

      You’re literally saying one type of dog is more dangerous than others. What other word is there to describe that than racist? I wasn’t accusing you of being racist towards other humans, I was asking if you were. My point was that you are doing the same thing “intellectual” racists do to justify their bias against specific groups. You can’t deny your racist against pitbulls though, that’s your entire argument.

        Dog breeds are not races. This is seriously one of the stupidest takes I’ve ever heard.

          Lmao so I’m using the wrong word? You don’t have anything else to add to your side of the argument? I’m sorry for saying pitbull racist instead whatever word you would prefer. Please ignore that and give your rebuttal for the point I was making. When people revert to semantics, it’s a pretty good indicator that they don’t have any value to add to their argument and are grasping at straws. I hope that’s not the case with you though.

                It’s not semantics. Breeds are not races.

                  Right, I used the wrong word. Would the right word be “Breedist”? I really don’t think so but it’s all I can think of.

                    There is no works for it because it is a concept that doesn’t exist.

                    Even you admit selective breeding is a thing. Border collies herd things by instinct. Huskys love snow and pulling things. Golden retrievers love fetch. Pit bulls have an extremely powerful bite. It’s just how those breeds are.

                  “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Is the definition for “Racism” on Google.

                  It’s obviously specifically directed to humans but when I was using that word I was applying it to non-humans. I imagine it’s hard for you to take the irrelevant parts specifically about humans out and use the remaining definition that is relevant on a broader spectrum. But I’m looking forward to you explaining why that’s stupid.

            An idea so stupid doesn’t need more of a response. Pit bulls were selectively bred for thousands of years for fighting, bull baiting, and killing rats. Very different that human races (and as my Afro American studies prof liked to tell us, there is no race but the human race.)

              Okay, that’s a really good point that I can’t think of an argument for. I’m also relieved that you don’t have the same ignorance for people and are actually apparently well educated about the subject. To your professors point, that’s exactly why racism is pure ignorance.
