Dogs tend to be pretty racist, though.

Only when taught to be by their owners (often unconsciously).

Negative.

True. If the dog's owner is tense around certain people the dog will pick up on it and become tense and show defensive characteristics such as barking or growling.
A lot of dog owners don't understand how their pet thinks.

No

Dogs are naturally racist towards people who look very different from the norm. Maybe racist is not the right word for it, since they have no concept of race. It's more to do with how animals (including humans) perceive threats.

Dogs don't like when you bare your teeth. Because of contrast, the teeth of coloured people are easier to notice so it freaks out dogs who aren't used to it.

That's a crazy theory, but it would explain why many blacks seem more dog-paranoid than whites I know.
Not that all blacks are paranoid of dogs, several own dogs of course, just in my experience they're a lot more wary of dogs than white dudes I know.


Did you make that shit entirely up, Hastur?

It's the most common theory I've heard. Try grinning at a strange dog.

In the interest of scientific inquiry and ideological purity, I googled up "why is my dog racist?" The images attached to a couple of the responses got a lulz.

Look at this shit:

Stanley Coren is the author of many books including: The Wisdom of Dogs; Do Dogs Dream? Born to Bark; The Modern Dog; Why Do Dogs Have Wet Noses? The Pawprints of History; How Dogs Think; How To Speak Dog; Why We Love the Dogs We Do; What Do Dogs Know? The Intelligence of Dogs; Why Does My Dog Act That Way? Understanding Dogs for Dummies; Sleep Thieves; The Left-hander Syndrome

... There's no way a human being could actually know what a dog thinks, but this asshole has made a career out of writing books about what dogs think.

He probably spent a lifetime sticking his face into other men's asses and feels a common bond with dogs.

[Fife]

He must have gone to a public school that emphasizes both proper mnemonic construction and understanding what the animals, like lions, are telling us.
