    without added on racism.

    He literally says you can't compare eating dog to any other animals in the video, no matter what arguments are brought up (pigs are smarter than dogs, and can be even kept as pets, yet people still slaughter them for bacon, etc) because of his feelings or something. He's also a South African, asking him not to add on racism to the story is almost impossible, and I say this as a South African

      That isn't racism, that's him imparting his morality on eating dogs onto Chinese morality.

      It's not surprising for a white person to be shocked that pet animals are just treated like food animals in different cultures.

      When I say the video wasn't overly racist I don't mean that he treated dog meat as if it was a normal accepted practice, I mean he didn't make it about how inferior the Chinese people are or something. The video just delivers information about how common it is and where he had found it throughout his time in China, combating the strong push from Chinese people on social media who become incensed at the implication it is eaten in China.
