    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.

      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.
