Well, let's do a little test shall we:
Do I hate people based on the color of their skin? No.
Do I hate people who come over to my country and accept MY customs? No.
Do I hate people in THEIR country who don't follow the customs I dislike? No.
Do I hate the people in THEIR country who follow the customs I dislike? Yes.
So how am I racist? I hate the fact that most Chinese people and Koreans accept this, but I know many don't. I hate a fuck ton of Chinese customs, but Dog-eating is relevant to this thread. Like I said, I lived there for a fair bit, I know alot and I know what I dislike.

Dogs are Carnivores first. Can you name a single Carnivore we breed to eat?
Sounds like an excuse to me, not sure what being a "carnivore first" matters. Its just a food source for them, nothing more nothing less.
To be honest, we should be shipping them dogs and cats from the US that are just gonna get killed in a shelter anyways, not taking theirs for nothing more than a feel good moment that will be forgotten in a week.
Hold up!
For your convenience:
racism
ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
noun: racism
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
So when we're talking culture, you simply cannot keep calling someone a racist with no justification. I hate parts of American culture too - for example how you love throwing the term "racist" around without apparently even knowing what it means. That doesn't make me a racist, does it?
In extreme cases you could call them out as a Xenophobe, but when someone has moral objections to how things are done in another culture, are you really going to tell them their morals are "wrong" while acting as a moral crusader yourself?
Possibly, here in the UK theres a few charity's which save dogs from being put down............................ rescued from Romania as well as other places.
Honestly, I can see why some people want to feel like that, we foster dogs from our local vets, some times puppies some times deaths door dogs. We find a joy in bringing up these dogs / making them comfortable, watch how some grow and change. To finish, watching them being homed to someone and seeing that persons face when they first see their potential dog especially when they actually walk away with that dog
Shit meat. Lacks anything when it comes to dietary needs, like most carnivore meat. Wastes resources to farm and by biological design will forever do so. tastes bland and stringy, Objective because every fucker in the world who has tasted Dog meat will confirm.
This isn't like the Horse meat/Beef scenario, Horse meat is very similar to beef, a little more lean and has less taste, but still contains all the objective benefits of eating a herbivores meat.
Dogs, especially the dogs bred for eating; are thin and gangly. They are sold as a foodstuff for novelty hence why it IS becoming more socially looked down upon in China and Korea.
I mean really, do you people even know why they eat Dog in China?

So you're just stupid then, understood.
Learn child's level of biology please.
TBH, even vets aren't sure about them, some vets say they're omnivores, because they can eat pretty much anything, others say that they're carnivores, because they're wild brethren, wolves, are carnivores, but unlike wolfs dogs are extremely adaptive carnivores and can live on grain based diet
For instance, many people don't know it, but chickens and pigs are omnivores, they eat both meat and veggies, chickens often eat their own eggs, chicks, bugs, worms, pigs will eat literally anything they can fit into their mouths, even annoying piglets, that's the reason why farmers don't allow mature boars to be around small piglets.
I used to live on farm when I was a kid, I've seen some bizarre shit
Dogs are Carnivores, just not Hyper-Carnivores. They can process a few rare plants, usually tubers and roots, and Eggs. However, they cannot subsist on Grain or Leafage.
This is why Dogs are shit livestock animals and usually why most carnivores are. Another is their diet to mass ratio. A Dog needs to eat far more food than you'll ever get off of it.
Things like Sheep,Goats, Cows and even Horses are much more efficient creatures for food. All of this factors in to the taste of the meat as well I may add, which is why Dog is just piss poor meat.
Ah yes the subjective nature of taste. Durians also smell and taste like ass to a lot of people and yet they're a favorite of others. Taste is funny like that.
And let me guess they eat dog because according to you they're just sociopaths that love to torture poor wittle puppies for shits and giggles.
Funny you should mention that, Because yes, for the Chinese especially, I could angle their culture does to create Sociopaths. Like I said before, their overarching culture seems to strangle empathy.
Also "Muh subjective taste" is a lie. Dog is a shit tasting meat, people who like it, objectively, have poor taste.
