    My husband's former bulldog went to work with him every day. For a while, he worked with a man from Nigeria, who would tease the dog all the time. My husband swears that from then on, Roxy did not like black men.

    I don't think you can really call it "racist" ... dogs just associate certain characteristics with people who look or sound similar. I had a lizard who hated people who were wearing hats. My dog Pepper LOVES older women, but HATES children. Lucky loves and wants to go with anyone in a truck. I happen to know she used to belong to an over-the-road truck driver and went with him on his routes. If I didn't know that, though, I might think she just especially loved men, or people wearing baseball caps, etc.

    My dog Kelly (she died a couple of years ago) hated people who spoke a different language.
    My sister and brother in law took her for a walk and met this English tourist who really liked dogs and wanted to take pictures of her but she absolutely refused to come near him and just lurked in big circles around them, growling like crazy.

    Same thing with a German tourist who accidentally bumped into our car and came to apologise. Lol, no damage was done and everyone was fine with it.. except the dog who acted like she wanted to kill him, so we were the ones who really had to make apologies.
