    Dude, you’ve spent a long time arguing from a point of view that fear of pitbulls is equivalent to racism.

    Doing this is trivialising racism and painting a breed bred for agression and fighting as innocent victims of oppression.

    It’s bogus and offensive and trivialises racism. Stop it.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

      And I suppose you also think that in this comment I’m trivialising the struggles of pit bulls by comparing them to apples.

      Bad logic is bad logic, whether applied to dogs, humans, apples or whatever. The fact that you can instinctively understand the argument is wrong when applied to people is the exact reason I used that, so people would understand it’s a bad argument that proves nothing.

        Bad logic is bad logic, whether applied to dogs, humans, apples or whatever.

        Racism is racism, whether it’s direct and obvious or just casually equating ethnic minorities to the most feared “dangerous” dogs whilst claiming that you’re “just explaining logical errors”.

        No, you don’t get to pretend you didn’t make an awful and offensive analogy (based on your irrational belief that the pitbulls are falsely maligned).

        If the logic is as flawed as you claim, there must be hundreds of analogies you can draw that aren’t racist and don’t equate black people in the USA with pitbulls.

          There might be, but I’ve only ever heard “X is a minority yet causes the majority of fatalities” used for two Xs, it’s bad logic in both cases, it would be bad logic in any other case too, feel free to find me another example of that logic that people instinctively understand it’s wrong and I’ll use that next time.

            Just fucking stop the racism.

            It’s not my job to write your reality denying nonsense for you.

            If your one and only recourse is to call black people violent dogs, you’re the one whose logical thinking is broken.

            STOP with the racist crap.
