Amid all the woke bullshit and political racebaiting that cannot be
called bullshit and political racebaiting, very important racism questions
apparently remain conveniently unanswered by the wokesters...
- Are Blacks adopting White dogs?
- Are Muslims adopting Black dogs?
- Is it OK to be a White dog?
- What about migrant dogs?
- Dog supremacy?


Dog Names Are Racist Too, According To Scholars

Academics recently applauded a Social Psychology Quarterly study
purporting to show a disparity in the time dogs were adopted based on
racial associations with the animals’ names.

“White” names, according to the study, resulted in shorter adoption
times compared to “Black” names.

The correlations were largely concentrated around pit bulls, “a breed
that is stereotyped as dangerous and racialized as Black," according
to the study.

Below are examples of academics’ reactions to the study.
Temple University

Timothy Welbeck, director of the Center for Anti-Racism Research and
an assistant professor of instruction, retweeted the story, posing the
rhetorical question “WhY iS EveRyTHingG aBOuT rACE?”

    “WhY iS EveRyTHinG aBOuT rACE?”

He answers his own question with, “Because everything is about race...”

Welbeck told Campus Reform that “something as seemingly as [sic]
innocuous as dog adoption can have lasting racial implications.”
University of Texas at Austin

Assistant Professor of Sociology Chantal Hailey commented in a
now-deleted tweet obtained by Campus Reform, “Anti-blackness is so
pervasive it even expands to dog names.”

Hailey conducts research “at the intersections of race and ethnicity,
stratification, urban sociology, education, and criminology.”
University of Akron

“Fascinating research! Amazing idea”, Daniela Jauk-Ajamie tweeted
regarding the study, an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Criminal
Justice.

Jauk-Ajamie’s work focuses on “gardening in incarcerated settings,
women in the criminal (in)justice system, and qualitative methods.”
Georgetown University

Don Moynihan, professor at Georgetown's McCourt School of Public
Policy, opined that the study was an “[i]nteresting example of how
racialized names still evoke bias even when dealing with non-humans.”

Moynihan provided comments to Campus Reform, expressing his view that
there exists “a relatively sophisticated body of work in this area
that needs to be accounted for to understand the contribution.”
University of Massachusetts Amherst

Chief Diversity Officer Nef Walker described the study as “Must read
work”, and “Fascinating research that supports the resiliency of
racialized names and the pervasiveness of antiBlackness [sic].”

    Fascinating research that supports the resiliency of racialized
names and the pervasiveness of antiBlackness. Must read work.

Walker has written on [t]he intersection of race, gender, and sexual
orientation in intercollegiate sports”, and “[h]egemonic masculinity
and the institutionalized bias of women in men’s collegiate
basketball.”
Denison University

Shiri Noy, assistant professor of sociology, applauded the study’s
authors for their “cutting edge work”.

    Natasha just doing her cutting edge work as usual, congrats to you
