Highlights: In a bizarre turn of events last month, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he would ban American XL bullies, a type of pit bull-shaped dog that had recently been implicated in a number of violent and sometimes deadly attacks.
XL bullies are perceived to be dangerous — but is that really rooted in reality?
Reminds me when literal neo-nazis made a propaganda subreddit trying to train people into being hateful of pitbulls as an allegory for black people. It got zero success for 2 years until they eventually gave up, said the quiet part out loud and immediately got banned for it.
But what they said was absolutely right. People are 100% racist when it comes to animals, it wouldn’t take much to carry it over to humans. Look no further than Richard Dawkins “eugenics works for animals why can’t it work for us?” tweet for a shining example of that.
