    I’m not drawing the line, you are when you claim races exist as anything more than social constructs over shared characteristics.

    In any case, all of what you’re saying are red herrings ignoring the point I’m making that the logic is flawed. Which you clearly agree with:

    People have investigated this with black crime statistics, and turns out that it was systemic racism. So thus it was debunked.

    If the argument was solid it wouldn’t need investigation, the fact that investigation disproves that argument lets you know it’s not solid logic.

    Since similar studies have not been conducted for dogs and we can’t exclude other factors (for example that assholes who want a dog to mistreat prefer aggressive breeds), the argument is just as pointless as it is for people.

      Race is a social construct, dog breeds very much aren’t. They were bred for a reason. Numerous countries, including my own, have banned pitbulls for that reason.

        Red herring: That is an entirely different argument from the one I’m replying to and has absolutely no bearing on the point I’m trying to make.

        That being said you should really pick up a history book sometime, slaves were also sometimes bred in much the same way dogs are now.

        Plus dog breeds are also mostly social constructs, to the point that the majority of Pitbull attacks are not actually done by Pitbulls but were misidentified.

          It’ll be hard for breeds of slaves to become “lesser” beings because it’s still humans v humans. There are some groups for example that are slightly better at diving because they live near water, and black people do fare better in the sun compared to white people. But again, the differences there are negligible.
