Is it racist to point it out that some Asian cultures do eat dog? No. Is it racist to single out certain Asian cultures and somehow use it as an indictment of culture? Yes.

Sorry, I am French and WE DO NOT EAT DOGS! Now we will eat a horse or donkey steak but dogs are our friends.

Congratulations on being French. Magnifique. Now go do even the most basic search on Google and try to learn a thing or two about anecdotal evidence, though I must say, I don't find it difficult to believe at all that dogs are your (only) friends.

Anecdotal.

Totally off-limits topic in the US, clearly. I didn't specify a nationality because several nationalities (Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc) eat strays.

Sad, sad, I had no idea that people in Asia eat dogs. I knew about horses but not dogs. It's awful. To answer your question: I have no idea if it's racist????

Of course they had to eat cats and dogs. And anything else that moved. Do you have any idea how many people died under Mao during the Cultural Revolution? From starvation? More than Stalin killed and more than Hitler killed. Good Lord. Take a history lesson. When I lived in China in 1979 there was no living or most beast including pests because everything had been eaten or killed off by pesticides.

Sure, are all Asians starving right now? They are still eating those poor cats and dogs. It seems like it's a delicatessen.

Still starving in N. Korea, now, read "The Orphan Master's Son". It's fiction, but the author was one of the few that got in to N. Korea.

Um, North Koreans are digging up Chinese graves and eating PEOPLE. Forget about cats and dogs, think about how starving you'd have to be to do that. And don't say it's only in Asia. Donner party, anyone? Those people were WHITE. I guess if some bodies go missing, we should make sure the white people aren't eating them up like Jeffrey Dalhmer. He's white, so there's some truth to white people being cannibals, right?

Please don't start a post with Um. It's makes you sound like a stupid young woman who can't speak without saying "like". Just use a declarative sentence. Yes, the N. Koreans are eating babies and whatever else they can. Google "Cannibalism North Korea" but don't look at the photos unless you think you can handle it. In Orphan Master's Son, those in the concentration camps survive by eating children and drinking the sperm of the one camp ox after they masturbate it at night when the guards are not looking. They eat crickets, beetles and anything else they can find because they are starving to death.

That book is a fiction, right? I think anyone would dogs to survive.
