Help. Our dog is a racist!

[pasty]

Quite seriously. A couple of weeks back my step-daughter told me our dog was racist, only barking at non-white people. I told her not to be such a numpty, but yesterday found out she's right.

Quite happily out walking the dog aloing Newhaven beach, she was minding her own business, ignoring everybody, until we approaced an Indian chap fishing. The dog went MENTAL! Barking, straining at the lead, yapping, growling, the works, all in the direction of this poor Indian chap.

It appears she is not particularly fussy about what race, Indian, African, Pakistani, Chinese, as long as the person is not white, she goes loopy! It's really all rather embarrassing now.

Suggestions? And no, I won't shoot the dog.

In case anybody thinks you are being serious, that dog was innocently named after the Latin word for black, presumably by a Classicly educated RAF type.

There are certainly racist dogs. 'White' dogs are quite common amongst certain groupings, I've known skinheads with dogs called hitler and trained to attack.

My fathers dog in South Africa is a somewhat 'white' dog although they are nowhere near as common over there as they used to be 20 years ago.

I totally believe you. Our old dog was the same, but only with people of african origin. I read something about it being a pheremone thing. Along with all that stuff about how animals can smell fear and so on.

It could be worse, you're only in Newhaven. The dog was living in Selhurst at the time...

The Latin word for black is 'niger'. I suspect the dog might have been named after the word prevalent at the time for a black person.

This is a beautiful thread for a dreary Monday afternoon.

I think a spell on the "naughty step" may do the trick.

Most Chinese are virtually as white as Caucasions; are you saying it's the slant eyes she perceives?

 

[csider]

can it single out gays also, or just non whites

Oi, that's an outrageous accusation. Don't forget how racist you used to be before you toned it down when in my company!

I also seem to be having problems with the "quote" buttons.
Unless, that is, you are criticising yourself......

Ignore above post, I can see what happened now.
