    Even white, privileged kids can be afraid of dogs. My daughter’s friend, who is white and at least middle class, is terrified of our dogs. She won’t come over to our house.

    Admittedly, one is 60 pounds, but the other is only 15 pounds and is basically a cuddle machine. She’s terrified of both of them.

      I don’t disagree with you in fact, but this comment is what-about-ism and arguing a straw-man since I never claimed privileged kids couldn’t be afraid of dogs. As a result, it comes off a little racist, regardless of your hopefully we’ll meaning intentions.
