- This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.

East and southeast Asians. He has cataracts and is nearly completely deaf, literally walking off with anyone with features even vaguely resembling mine, and frequently walking into things at home. Everyone looks and sounds the same, but this racist little bag of shit can still tell someone’s ethnicity by smell alone.
No problems with native Americans, Indians, Russians, Mexicans, etc.. He just hates east and southeast Asians. Mind you, he has no reason to have developed an aversion, anyway. He’d only known 3 when I noticed it, and all of them are kind people. I call him Cotton Hill when we have guests
Some Asians don't have the gene that makes sweat smell. This probably makes them smell strange to a dog's nose. My dog is just very cautious with smokers; he treats them with extreme prejudice.
