Dogs actually can be racist, they’re just not in a position to do bad things with their prejudices.

Police dogs are, very much so. Like, not consciously. They don’t understand what they’re doing and it’s their owners that are ultimately responsible for using them essentially as prejudice amplifiers and probable cause generators, but the racism they get taught absolutely does harm.

I should’ve said “not usually”

Like biting children?
Have seen that. Dog gets usually petted by white children and usually teased by Asian children - learns to become peaceful for the one and cower in a corner, followed by lunge and bite, to the other.
Not saying all Asian children are mean to dogs, but in this case it was enough for the dog to believe a pattern and respond.

Dogs can be racist.
Source: had a racist dog once. I don’t know where he got it from because it wasn’t me.

My friend has a dog who once had a black man accidentally step on his paw. Not sure if he hated black people before but to this day he still hates all black people he encounters.

From what I’ve heard, dogs have problems seeing the relatively low contrasts in darker faces and that freaks them out.
… Or they’re just absolutely racist.

My dog is sexist though. She hates female dogs unless they’re puppies. She’s female btw.

He’s too short to pee on the couch, but will poop in the office if we make him wear a muzzle.

One of my dogs shits in the house as a retaliation measure.

I have a friend dog who had exactly 1 panic poop inside every new home she visits.
1, 1 time, by the door she intends to use to go outside when she’s there.
Every time.
It’s a statement of intent.

I can manage 1, 3 and 4. Is that okay?

It is so funny to me that people talk about how racist dogs are for human races. I feel that there should be a separate word for that, perhaps cross species racism? Idk
My dog is also a racist because he has been bitten by a pitbull once. If any pitbull comes into view he goes berserk.

There’s a classic Sam Fuller (B movie king) called White Dog about a racist dog. Actually a pretty good movie

My dog is actually pretty racist, she doesn’t like white people lol

My husky goes apeshit when she sees black labs. Can’t let her in the park if anyone else there at the time has a black lab because she will attack it.

Mine too lol, my dog is a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, but she hates other little dogs, she only tolerates dogs over like 40lbs or so

Our dog hates black cats, but completely ignores the other white & brown cat fr
