I think the word "said" is being overlooked here, he meant there is not the same type of anti-Black and anti-Latino racism and history of redlining in the UK as there has been in the US and that pit bull bans there do not seem to be geared in the same degree toward barring select races from moving into select neighborhoods. He wasn't trying to say the UK has never had any history of slavery and racism with any race, just that attributing a pit bull ban to race in the fashion that the OP cites does not square with the dynamics behind the UK pit bull ban--which almost exclusively affects chud white people.
Because US political brainworms always do. Qanon is a great recent example.
This phenomenon of pitbull demonizing is literally only like 30 years old.
They were also never bred for "aggression to humans" as someone incorrectly stated, they were first and foremost bred as working dogs and even in fighting circles would be immediately put down if they expressed aggression toward humans. Dogs have to be severely abused in 99% of cases to be made to be aggressive or at least be deprived of socialization.
I beg everyone here to actually read science on this stuff that I have included in my effort post before falling back to reactionary vibes based opinions built on reactionary racist propaganda.
If anything, pit bulls make me think of bogans. Could be argued that's classist but i grew up a bogan and it's why basically any dog above my upper leg makes me nervous. But then, they mostly have Standard Issue Shelter mixes and don't usually get dogs from breeders.
Where do you think pitbull hysteria originated?
Also lmao at the implication that the UK doesn't have a history of slavery and racism. What the hell kind of take is this?

I’m Australian. Pit Bulls aren’t and weren’t owned by ex slaves or indigenous people here.
Didn't answer my question.
Why do you think that “hysteria” has been exported internationally?
