Studies have shown that pit bulls are associated with black people, and that people who have unfavorable views of black people, especially as being violent, also have a correlation to negative views of pit bulls
Not OP, but - this has nothing to do with racism, WTF are you talking about?
“Studies have shown”… My god, studies have shown that a breed created for violence and bloodthirst has a higher probability of being violent and bloodthirsty than those that weren’t, that’s literally all the context there was!
My comments and the links were all about the stereotypes part,not really the pitbulls. This particular comment reply chain, at least where I got involved, was just about how stereotypes alone isn’t a basis for truth. A counter argument was made that such a judgement doesn’t count for dog breeds, and the study shows that it indeed can count.

You kneejerked answered without even reading the linked study, didn’t you?
Of course I didn’t read the study, because it’s off topic.
Pitbull kills white dog trainer.
Pitbull of a black dog trainer kills another dog
Race of the human has nothing to do with the fact that the fucking dogs were designed to maim and kill, dude.

Exactly my point. Nobody is talking about any stereotypes.
If the discussion was about how “X people tend to get Pitbulls”, I’d agree that talking about stereotypes makes sense.
But the discussion was about Pitbulls being bloodthirsty and dangerous. It’s not a stereotype, it’s a biological fact.
