    My comments and the links were all about the stereotypes part,not really the pitbulls

    Exactly my point. Nobody is talking about any stereotypes.

    A counter argument was made that such a judgement doesn’t count for dog breeds

    If the discussion was about how “X people tend to get Pitbulls”, I’d agree that talking about stereotypes makes sense.

    But the discussion was about Pitbulls being bloodthirsty and dangerous. It’s not a stereotype, it’s a biological fact.

      If you know what breed it’s talking about, that suggests there’s probably some truth to it

      This is the comment where this particular comment chain veered into the subject of stereotypes. Chatokun correctly pointed out that this is a specious argument because it can also be applied to racial stereotypes.

      So your statement, “Nobody is talking about any stereotypes”, is untrue.
