I always wear a hat (and different sorts - cap, trilby etc), so it's really not that he wasn't used to them. It just means he lacks experience and needs a proper, positive introduction to more people who don't look like or dress like you. My Dad is black and she gets on perfectly well with him, so it's not an anxiety or 'hatred', maybe she recognises the skin colour difference and thinks it's my Dad. Moreover, she notes there have as yet been no peer-reviewed studies that would prove beyond a doubt that skin color can trigger negative behaviors in dogs. Of course, as understandable as it may be, their fearful or defensive behavior around people who look very different from those they have more experience with can be difficult and downright embarrassing when it manifests.

Eric doesn't like black labs, he barks at them, I'm pretty sure it's because, when in the vets, a black lab came and licked his face when he was a tiny pup on my knee as he was most affronted at the time. Dogs have all kinds of biases, and racial/cultural biases are just like any other and should be treated as such. Say you were me, raised with cats and a little skittish with dogs (because I used to think some were racist) and you approached every dog with anxiety.So, in my view, it’s only natural that they can be biased toward or against people of a particular race, nationality, culture, and/or gender.

If dog owners do find themselves in a charged situation, they should get the dogs out of there as quickly as possible.I think one of the other reasons people are so reluctant to talk about their dog being “racist” (there’s that ugly word again) is they feel it could imply they, too, are racist. Mine doesn't react to black people and is the friendliest dog to the majority of people but there is a man with learning difficulties in our street who has got into the habit of putting all the neighbours bins away after the bin lorry has emptied them.

But the idea of ‘racism’ has a lot of social connotations that might go beyond merely reacting negatively to someone based on how they look. She can also facilitate a more predictable environment to work in; this is especially valuable if your dog (and you) are already scared.The other was a young man with cerebral palsy walking awkwardly on the footpath making screeching noises - Kite was young at the time and had never seen anyone with a disability like that before.
