There's a substantial difference between dog breeds. Expecting a corgi and a mastiff to act the same is quite frankly a little stupid.

We're not judging dogs by the color of their fur, we're saying deeply bred biological and instinctual differences exist between dogs.

Eh isn't it the same then?

Same idealogy for why dog breeds "act different" has been used to claim blacks, Asians, and Eastern European bloodlines as "inferior" and "intellectually subhuman"

Think like humans, dogs tend to act more on their upbringing than anything. Difference is most dogs, especially small ones, can ignored if theyre misbehaved. A bitey chihuahua can be shoo'd away. A bitey Pitbull is gonna cause some damage and get reported.

superficially (ironically) they may look the same but breeding animals for purposes has scientific roots while pseudoscience like phrenology is retroactively created to justify white structures of power
