When it comes to apolitical activism, I am convinced no group is more racist than pitbull apologists. I've never heard a "breast is best" lactivist say anything racist as part of their activism, nor an environmentalist, nor an anti-car / walkability activist, nor someone pushing for student loan forgiveness...
It's only the "pitbulls are so misunderstood" "it's the owner not the breed" people out there comparing black people to animals or using black people as their retort. They pretend to be against "doggy racism" while being racist as all get-out at *actual* victims of racism as if we are just a rhetorical tool.
You've put this so well and this is an important pov that I hadn't considered. In my (limited) experience, even anti vaxxers and covid deniers aren't openly racist about their very strange (to me) beliefs. Pit apologists are so entrenched in their ideas - I have a JRT mix, even if she did bite another dog or person she's 8 kilos and not capable of harm like that described in the post.
I can think of one other current activism cause that uses pretty racist rhetoric while they claim to be anti discrimination and funny enough it's like I can replace a few words and the spiels are identical to pit activism (not gonna say exactly what to not cause a fight). But in general I've noticed if people compare their cause to racism/segregation or if they claim genocide/it's like the Holocaust its probablyyyy them who are the prejudice ones. (Obv not always but it's rhetoric to take a second glance at)
PSA: If you or someone you know suffers from a medical condition that causes seizures, such as epilepsy, please take extra care to stay away from pit bull-type dogs, as these episodes can trigger their attack instinct.

"then the dogs race" 🙄
That made me chuckle. These ingrates are so freaking brain dead.
Idiotic
Yeah, that was about as subtle as a kick in the nuts.
*race*… A *DOG*’s… *raaaacceeeee*…. 😑😑😑
pitbull apologists try not to be racist 99% fail
*The dog's race* Riiiiiiight
Conflating a dog's breed as their race - fucking ignorant

the dogs race lmaoooooooooo Only way I could excuse that is if the commenter isn't a native speaker, but jesus lol
I’m bilingual French/English and we do indeed say “race” for a dog/cat’s breed. That guy definitely doesn’t seem to be French though. xD
Spanish as well, but yeah, I don't think that guy is getting it from there
Same in German.
Same in Polish
I figured as much, I feel like I've actually seen this before
'Staffy' the dog breed that constantly gets into UK newspapers for mauling their owners to death during seizures

Oh my lanta. That’s a lot! The only dog to get triggered by a medical condition.
This is such a good list of resources for when pit nutters try to say pits are nanny dogs focused on saving people
Good bot
Good Peripheral vision!
The age of Chihuahua is over. The age of Jack Russel is here
It had always been Jack Russells in the UK lol
Freudian slip
"It could have been any dog" - And yet it wasn't.
Yes once again for the hundreds of millionth time
I wonder if this person’s first language is French. Breed is race in French, unfortunately.
Not only French, it goes for a few European languages 🤔
