Even dogs are racist

It's true that dogs can identify and react to the pheromonal differences among distinct ethnicities.

If the owner and family have a fear or dislike of a particular ethnicity, their dogs will be inclined to bark louder and act more aggressively if they smell a member of the disliked ethnicity as they walk by the house.

Ah.
Do they smell differently because of diet and personal hygiene habits or is there some deeper cause?

Given anyone can have a bad diet and bad personal hygiene habits...

Dogs can detect ethnicity, but the crucial factor determining their reaction is the attitude of their owners/family towards the ethnicity of the other.

Hard to say, dear chap. In the other thread you're scoffing over the idea of eating Thai food making one a dirty Oriental, so who knows?

Perhaps those dogs picked up you've been reading the Tree of Man.

I always did feel Patrick White was rather overrated.

Those dogs can be such critics, no?

A decade later, a new prez and the Chows pulled up the shutters, jailed their billionaires, took Hong Kong, played trade wars with the West and turned out to be going in the completely opposite direction of that liberal democratic end-of-history you assured us they would arrive at any day now, we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Ee-gad, even Francis Fukuyama said he got it wrong. You?

No, you said, it will happen.

Yes it will, you said. And it went like that for a good 20 pages.

So. What do you have to say for yourself now?

Sure beats Hellish Functionalism..... the end justifies the meanies running the show.....

That's two nifty puns for one day.... remember that 'too poor to put super on the table' one.... jeez - some Yanks - the activist type - hate my sense of humour... but we got a name, location and photo of FTLW out of them.... took some effort .... you can pun but you can't hide FTLW, no matter what names you use..... they're on to you.

Say - where's the Diviner Ms M? Over-stepped the mark...... ran like a pig from a gun... see how them pigs fly .... (ooooOOOH!).....

So ... therefore unless the owners are aggressively verbally attacking & yelling/barking(lol) at the ethnicity when they go past why would the dog react other than it being a stranger?

Dogs are colourblind/colour deficient.

Dogs are colourblind/colour deficient.

The owners do not need to be aggressively verbally attacking & yelling at ethnic others, they only have to send subconscious signals to the dog - usually via pheromones and/or adrenalin/cortisol.

Dogs can also smell fear and they are highly sensitive to the mood of their 'pack' (i.e. owner and family).

Strangers are others to the pack and therefore the dog would be wary of all strangers.

However, if the dog associates the pheromones of a particular stranger group that it also associates with its pack's heightened sense of fear/aggression/anxiety, it will act more aggressively when it smells their presence.

Human war dances and a dog's display of aggression have a lot in common.

No.... are you?

What I'm suggesting is that dogs see people as people..... not colours.

What happens when an ethnic gets a dog for a pet?

Does it only bark at/react to other ethnicities?

35 years ago at the Gregory Downs pub they had a blue heeler behind the bar.

We were told not to, for any reason put our hands/reach over the bar as the dog would fasten onto you.

When asked why the had a dog like that behind the bar, the bar attendant(14 yr old boy) said it was because of a certain racial group who would come into the bar and take money out of the till when times were busy/ or they ran a distraction --

but he said it didn't matter to the dog what colour you were - if you reached over the bar - it would have you.

He also said the publican was thinking of replacing the dog after it fastened onto someone who reached over the bar and didn't draw blood.

Said the dog was getting soft.

Ironically, that is the level of stupidity 'racism' has got to in the US, where Asian and Latino Americans are now considered 'white'.

How long before (sub-continental) Indian Americans ae considered 'white', I wonder.

A dog's primary sense is smell, not sight.

Yes, if, say, an Aboriginal clan does not like non-Aboriginals, their dogs will associate non-Aboriginal pheromones as a signal of danger.
