    Today I have encountered a racist dog.
    I was chatting in the street to a friend, who had just taken her dog for a walk.
    We stood there for about ten minutes as people passed by taking their kids to school.
    The dog sat there happily, and had a bit of fuss from one or two people as they walked past.
    Then, the dog stood up, heckles rising, and started growling. A black lady was walking on the other side of the road. The dog followed her every move, and only stopped growling when she'd gone.
    The owner is mortified. Apparently it happens every time, the worst case when the owner's daughter brought friends home, one of whom was a black girl. The dog played with them all, apart from the black girl, who she growled at continually.

    Discrimination by the colour of skin, by a dog. Racism.

    All the cats on my street are black. The tabbies and gingers have all been ostracised. It's now a no go area for non-blacks. Racist cat scum.

    I used to have a white dog. Other dogs used to go for it all the time. It was a regular dog. Didnt bark or owt. Lots of coloured dogs seemed racists. They never went for my brown dog. Just the white one.

    Most owners appeared shocked that there dogs only went for white dogs but did agree their dogs had a problem with white dogs
    . Well from what conversation you can have with someone holding a snarling cocker spaniel.

    The pub dog in one of my locals used to bark and growl at Asian taxi drivers when they popped in the pub to shout for customers.

    Didn't do it to anyone else, in fact it was really placid the rest of the time, so I guess it was racist.

    It was an Alsation.

    You mean a German Shepherd - racist!

    Seriously I had to check this out when I said Alsatian to the missus and she didn't have a clue what I was talking about - name got changed here during WW1 and didn't revert back to German Shepherd until late 70's

    I'd like to know why someone from Uzbekistan is called an Uzbek and someone from Kazakhstan is called a Kazakh but someone from Pakistan is called a Pakistani?

    They're not called Uzbekis though are they, hence it is Paks not Pakis.
