Dog breed names

Dog breed names are very arbitrary. The Great Dane is really from Germany, the Australian Shepherd is from America, the Labrador Retriever is not from Labrador... and so on. Dog breed names also change over time (A German Shepherd Dog used to be called an “Alsatian”), and they are different depending on which country or kennel club you listen to. Dog breed names tell us more about people than about the dogs themselves.

It has come to my attention that some dog breed names are racial slurs. Some words we take for granted are derogatory labels given by colonizers to groups or nations of people they colonized. These are culturally insensitive, triggering words. They may have no effect on me personally but that is not the point.

Dog trainer Grisha Stewart (via this facebook post ):

Here’s the thing about culturally (in)sensitive terms: the person or group being harmed by it is the only one who knows if it’s triggering, if it feels hurtful or not. To do otherwise is gaslighting.

If we care about a person or group of people, we make whatever healthy choices we can to avoid hurting them, and only they can tell us what hurts.

For example, say you have a girlfriend and you call her honeybear. That triggers her PTSD because kids at school beat her up with a honey bear (bear-shaped bottle filled with honey) and it became her nickname. So she asks you not to call her that. It doesn’t make her feel loved, quite the opposite.

It’s not your intention to hurt her. It’s not your fault that it happened. You’re not a bad person, you just didn’t know. But once you know that it feels painful to hear that name, it would be unkind and counterproductive to keep using it.

Here are dog breed names that are culturally-insensitive:

AMERICAN ESKIMO* 

Non-racist alternatives: American Spitz, White German Spitz

People in many parts of the Arctic consider Eskimo a derogatory term because it was widely used by racist, non-native colonizers. (source)

CANADIAN ESKIMO*

Non-racist alternative: Inuit Qimmiq 

The word qimmiq is being used because it’s the language of the people that developed the dog in the first place. And understanding that the Inuit have always referred to the dog as qimmiq, it came fairly easily in the discussion.  (source)

SAMOYED*

Non-racist alternative: Nenet Laika

Samoyed means self-eater or cannibal in Russian....it is a word that applies to the Nenets in much the same way the n-word applies to African-Americans. (source)

Although I am not able to change the names that are on already-printed Dogs of the World posters, this is what I will keep in mind for the next print edition.

Yesterday was #HolocaustRemembranceDay, and too often there are people who are left out of the conversation who the Nazis also tried to exterminate. The Roma people are still subject to considerable discrimination today, and right now we can at least take one step to be more respectful of the Roma by retiring the g*psy slur and listening more to Roma/Sinti community activists. Repost from @terms_of_engagement • The continued use of the derogatory term G*PSY outside of the Romani community by Non-Roma perpetuates the devaluing of historical and contemporary contributions of the Romani to our shared community. The continued use of these words contribute to anti-gypsyism efforts to dehumanize, control and exterminate Roma peoples. Careful and meaningful use of the language that is used by both Roma and non-Roma communities in the pursuit of justice is crucial to the recognition and liberation of Roma. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: We humbly apologize for not adequately detailing those members of the community that identify as Gitanos, Ciganin or Cingene who have built their identities on words that share similar origins with Gypsy. The autonomy lies with individuals and their communities to choose how they identify. The purpose of this post is to communicate that, in a North American/European context, it is not the authority of non-Roma to decide when, where and how the word g*psy and it's European equivalents are used to identify Romani peoples. #antigypsyism #racialslurs #gypsy #tsigani #gyp #gypped #bohemianstyle #notyourgypsy #roma #OpreRoma #RomaNation #Romani #unitedANDunqiue #useyourwords #wordsmatter #speakup #solidarity #decolonize #antiracismeducation #holocaustremembranceday #internationalholocaustremembranceday https://www.instagram.com/p/CKl14EpMhso/?igshid=185dsel4gb1sp

Given the old Michael Richards treatment.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/08/23/ex-colts-announcers-n-word-tale-takes-a-twist-with-racing-analysts-admission/

Given the old Michael Richards treatment. The N-word is an awful word and no one should ever used it, I wish as a society we could agree on that. Madonna, Wahlberg and Biden all get a pass for racial slurs, heck even Obama admitted to using homophobic language and was still elected president. The ends will always justify the means with democrats and your political party affiliation and the way you vote is the most important aspect of your identify in their eyes.

In this article Bob Lamey & Derek Daly are guilty until proven innocent. One employee steps forward and says Lamey used a racial slur while telling a story and Lamey was saying he quoted someone and then they are both canceled. Joe Biden used the N-Word several times in congress and it was broadcasted live on c-span.

Direct Quotes:

Not long after longtime Colts radio announcer Bob Lamey abruptly retired on Sunday, news emerged that he had recently upset a black radio station employee by using the n-word while relaying a story he’d heard many years previously from another man at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

On Thursday, Daly denied being the source for Lamey’s usage of the racial slur — but also admitted to having used the word many years ago in a similar setting, in what he claimed was a misunderstanding attributable to his upbringing in Ireland. “I want everyone to know I deeply regret and sincerely apologize for what I said more than three decades ago,” Daly said in a statement.

The employee clarified that, in Lamey’s telling of the story, he didn’t say “blank” but rather the n-word. “He was like, ‘Oh I’m so so sorry. I’m so sorry if you’re offended by this. I didn’t mean to offend anyone,’ and I was like, ‘I’m black and I wouldn’t ever say that word,’ and sort of just told him how it hurt me and how I don’t think he should say it ever, even if he’s telling a story,” the employee said.

The Star published comments in support of Daly from Willy T. Ribbs, who was the first African American to compete in the Indy 500 and who previously had raced in a Formula series in England. Ribbs said that while overseas, Daly “was the first driver to befriend me in a[n] environment I knew little about,” and he described the Irishman, who now lives in Indiana, as “one of my closest friends in a sport that has been very hostile to me.”

A local utility company in Washington says that it accidentally sent an African-American customer a racial slur as the temporary password for her online account. "I clicked 'forgot password' and got a temporary password from PSE and it was capital N---a and I was quite shocked," Erica Conway told KIRO 7 on Wednesday, referencing her reaction to an email from Puget Sound Energy (PSE) after she requested a new password for her account. Conway, who is a longtime volunteer of the Seattle chapter of the NAACP, said that she believes the slur was intentional. She also says that she complained to a customer service agent named Lydia at PSE's Bothell call center, but that the representative did not take her seriously. "I had said 'Do you guys screen out certain words?' and Lydia was, like, 'Yes, we do.' And I said, 'Well you guys didn't screen out this word' And she said, 'Why would we?' and I said, "What do you mean why would we? This is an offensive word.' And she stated to me, 'No one uses that word anymore.' And I was like, where are you living, what planet are you living on?" #blackpeoplebelike #blackpeoplewakeup #blackpeopleunite #utilitycompany #wtf #racialslurs #racism #racist https://www.instagram.com/p/BmCEqragtd_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1czwoa3zcmkx2

For #therapythursday & carrying on from #blackouttuesday the #blackentrepreneur I'm introducing you to today is Leana who after graduating, set up her own massage company @therapeutiques 🖤 This picture is May 2017 when she opened her massage therapy room in #birminghamuk🇬🇧 although since then she has adapted to clients needs & is now a #mobilemassage therapist in your own space. 👐🏿  Now everyone gets stressed, life can wear you down, chronic illness is a constant battle - I need a massage!💆🏼‍♀️ But have you ever thought of the extra tiredness & emotion for non-white people that comes from living life in a country that has built-in #constitutionalracism Yes, I am talking about England here too! Where you can be made to feel unwelcome & not British/American enough even if you were born there. Teachers treating you differently at school, #racism in the playground, college, university. The #discrimination when your "exotic" name on your CV doesn't even get you an interview. At interviews, being additionally judged by your hairstyle, appearance & if they think you look like trouble or not. At work, if you get 'aggressive' when an inappropriate #racial comment is made & don't just take it as a 'joke'. When passed over for promotion you're qualified to do, for a white person who needs training to start a job you could've begun straight away. Then we have all seen videos of when #raceattack starts on public transport & it isn't only words, we have seen people being physically attacked while the #racialslurs are vomited out. Will security let you in on a night out? Will you be able to hail down a taxi home? Interactions with the police. Having to teach black children how the world can treat you because of your #skincolour = These are examples from my limited white viewpoint of the situation, there's so much more to it - but you would need a massage wouldn't you? A release, an outlet? #BLM Protests are a way to be heard when your voices asking to breathe & to live because you matter, are ignored! • • • #speakout #useyourplatform #blackbuisness #blacklivesmatter (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBA6CNwh7fJ/?igshid=whp9a1m870yu

Reposted from @kishlb - ‘Pick My Cotton, N—-r’: UGA Fraternity Suspended, Four Members Booted After Video Mocking Slavery Surfaces By  Tanasia Kenney - March 25, 2019 A #fraternity at the #UniversityofGeorgia has been suspended after video showing some of its members mocking #slavery and using #racialslurs circulated on social media over the weekend. The video appears to show one student slapping another with a belt, as if it were a whip, and ordering him to “pick my cotton, n—-r!” #UGA’s Student Government Association released a letter to the student body Friday saying it was aware of the #racist video. #TauKappaEpsilonsXiLambda chapter is the second fraternity at UGA to be suspended in less than three months. (Photo: Twitter/@sukari_xo) “We have been notified that the chapter is currently suspended, and we can confirm that there’s an investigation underway regarding the students involved in the video,” the letter read. Social media users identified the students in the video as members of the university’s #TauKappaEpsilon fraternity, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. A spokesman for the organization’s national organization said it is “disgusted, appalled and angered” by the students’ actions and has expelled four members as a result. “Tau Kappa Epsilon won’t tolerate any actions such as these that would be defined as racist, #discriminatory and/or offensive,” the frat said in a statement posted to Twitter. “After being alerted to the incident [Friday], Tau Kappa Epsilon’s professional staff and members of the Xi-Lambda chapter at the University of Georgia immediately began a thorough investigation into the actions of these four men.” Fraternity officials said the incident did not take place during a TKE event or on chapter premises. “These four individuals acted outside the expectations of our membership and their chapter and therefore were removed from both,” the statement continues. UGA also responded to the incident, saying it “condemns racism in the strongest terms.” “Racism has no place on our campus,” the university said. “ - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfWsKtHqve/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ba3sd9iotl6

THANK YOU. Quit telling us what is and isn't racist when it isn't part of your heritage. And please spare me your 1/32 bullshit.
