Kinda related:

Turns out "I don't like pitbulls and those kind of dogs" is a dogwhistle in yankland. Fucking everything is a dogwhistle, even the word "boy" turns out to be a dogwhistle too. Fuck dammit stop being so fucking racist.

    It depends on the context if it's racist or not. They get associated with minorities and attacking white children(and a strange notion about impregnating white women), so some people do use them as shorthand for black people or other ethnic minorities. Compare this to how someone saying they don't like city life or modern music can also be a dog whistle or just a normal statement depending on who's saying it when.

          Okay, now you'll have to tell us the connection between those two things involving dogs

            Attacking the children, impregnating the woman, being subhuman and disobedient unlike better breeds, are they talking about pit bulls do you think?

              Uh, obviously I've never found anyone talking about dogs impregnating "the woman"

              But you argue that the "white women fuck dogs" meme started because white angst against white women fucking anything that isn't the überman? Attacking white women as "impulsive imbecile [sexist slur] that must be controlled, else they end up fucking dogs or even [racial slur]"

              That's the connection?

              Okay, I see it now.

                Yup, it's a dogwhistle. You gotta put it in the framework of bad racist thought to get it.

      I don't think dogfucking is connected to the general case, that's specifically an incel thing, and hating on pit bulls (with undertones of racism) is a more general thing.
