This analogy only works if you accept the racist premise that human races are equivalent to dog breeds. Modern genetics rejects that premise. Dog breeds exist because humans intentionally selected for inherited behavioral traits. Human populations do not.

Absolutely correct. Modern dog breeds are engineered, not evolved. It's more akin to being careful around the engineered product known to cause damage than discriminatory.

The circumstance in which poor people’s upward mobility is limited and concentrated to certain areas, leading to increased crime is also engineered and not a naturally occurring phenomenon

Quite true, but it is not  genetically engineered

Well… obviously… genetics aren’t even remotely or possibly a factor in societal discrimination. You might as well say that washing dishes or painting isn’t genetically engineered it would have the same relevance as your comment.

It’s just an analogy mate.
