As an Asian, when I once petted a stranger's dog and he jokingly said, 'Don't eat him!' (imgur.com)

A good friend of mine is from Vietnam and has actually had dog. He made us the traditional dish there that is made from dog but he made it with pork. Every time he came over to our house after that he would pet my dog and say she looked delicious.

It was extra funny because she really loved it when he came over and would get really excited. Also, since she is racist, she gets excited now any time she sees an asian guy in the street.

[–]MechaToast 79 points80 points ago

That is a hilariously racist dog.

[–]KingR3aper 10 points11 points ago

Whenever I see an adorable creature along with other people, I always make sure to add an "He looks delicious" in the midst of "D'AWWS" and "AWWS".

It ensurs I'll never be loved....

[–]CupBeEmpty 1 point2 points ago

The "he looks delicious" was from Southpark right. "I want that one, he looks delicious."

[–]Jaymaster1 2 points3 points ago

Whats the big deal about eating dog? White people eat anything you put in front of them, as long as it's deep fried.

[–]updn 3 points4 points ago

I guess it's true what they say, they do all smell alike. Heyyuuuu

Because that joke was in extremely poor taste, I'll apologize ahead of time.

[–]fourvalleys 9 points10 points ago

.... You apologized after.

[–]updn 7 points8 points ago

Why yes, but it was ahead of any potential downvotes or anger.

[–]Neo-Antique 5 points6 points ago

Well, it tasted better than the dog.

[–]jerkburger 1 point2 points ago

My bff's dad upon meeting my baby daughter said she looked delicious....hmmmm

[–]CupBeEmpty 3 points4 points ago

So you have found one non-babysitter it seems.

[–]aazav 0 points1 point ago

Saw people eating dog in China from friends who videotaped their trip across the country.

[–]kceb 1 point2 points ago

My mom says stuff about my dog all the time.
The other day she just randomly said: "Did you know that if other Koreans saw our Yorkshire Terrier, they would want to eat him because of his exquisite coloring? He would be a delicious dog."
Or: "Get some more food for him, he needs to be fattened up for dinner."

[–]AsianSensation3 -1 points0 points ago

I'm from Vientnam!

To inform you, only people that aren't Buddhist there eat dogs

[–]CupBeEmpty -1 points0 points ago

This kid is definitely not Buddhist.

So verify this for me. He said that there is a town that is famous for making the dog dish. What is the name of that town?

He also said that there is another town that is famous for making food from snake meat (the way he says snake meat with the Vietnamese accent is awesome, something like "snek met").

This would all be up around Hanoi where he is from.

[–]JohnGalt3 -1 points0 points ago

I highly doubt this is true, in bordering Laos a lot of people eat dog while being Buddhist.

[–]AsianSensation3 0 points1 point ago

As a Caucasian, one time an Asian approached me in the lunch line at school, used his fingers to open his eyes really wide, and said "WANT A HAMBURGER??" before walking off.

On the first day of school, whenever I introduce my ethnicity (Asian), and some jerk in the back says, "Hey, how does dog taste?" I always reply with, "You should know, you're dating one."

Works every time.

[–]AidanReddit 100 points101 points ago

You have to introduce your ethnicity?

[–]Ifriendzonecats 62 points63 points ago

Hello class. As today is your first day, I'm going to ask you all to introduce yourselves: you know stand up, say your name, race and a funny story from summer vacation.

[–]hwamil 44 points45 points ago

"Hi, my name is Jason Park. I'm Korean, and this Summer break I ate mad bitches."

[–]starwarscreature 2 points3 points ago

Not sad bitches? Or happy bitches? Why were they mad?

[–]crackshot91 3 points4 points ago

In this case, the word "mad" is slang for "a lot of".

Thank you, kind sir.

[–]JewishNinja 4 points5 points ago

I'd do that too and I am Asian! Problem is I've actually eaten dog (albeit only twice).

Tastes pretty gamy and kind of like rabbit if you were curious.

[–]shadowdude777 0 points1 point ago

Interesting. I love rabbit, so now I have to try it!

[–]fourvalleys -2 points-1 points ago

You just need an Asian friend. But after you use it the first time I'm pretty sure they'll adopt it.

Huh... I guess I'd reply with something like, "You suck wiener, don't you?"

[–]derpy_lurker 7 points8 points ago

"Hey, how does dog taste?"

"Hey, how does my dick taste"

Cue lawsuits

[–]SimplyNoah 4 points5 points ago

You would not believe how many times I wish I were a male simply for the fact that I can use penis jokes.

[–]memearchivingbot 8 points9 points ago

I think it could be even funnier if you actually did make penis jokes in that case.

[–]derpy_lurker 1 point2 points ago

That feel... I know it.

On an unrelated note, SimplyNoah would like to be able to use penis jokes?

[–]dumdumdurr 1 point2 points ago

I just say "delicious". What else can I say?

[–]rysryan 1 point2 points ago

Go for the mother bro. If you really need to hit below the belt, go for the mother.

[–]badabingbadabang 52 points53 points ago

If there is a culture that is eating dog, I do not understand how that is anything but equivalent to North Americans and Europeans eating pork.

I do not know why people do not understand this :/

[–]Maxamillionaire 22 points23 points ago

Same with horse...mmmmmmm horse.

[–]Tspyder90 12 points13 points ago

The McStallion?

[–]Maxamillionaire 4 points5 points ago

I would buy that.

[–]Toof 1 point2 points ago

I totally want to try horse and donkey. I hear they are delicious. I think they just recently legalized the slaughter of them in the US, but I cannot find their meat for sale ANYWHERE.

[–]Maxamillionaire 2 points3 points ago

Did they?! This is exciting...I ended up in Asia before having some.

[–]Toof 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but you know those uppity folks... apparently they are protesting a slaughterhouse that is being setup.

[–]Maxamillionaire 1 point2 points ago

I just don't get it. I'm an all or nothing guy. I mean, as long as a culture we're (for the most part) down to eat farmed cow, pig, chicken, fish...Why can't we just go all in on horse/dog/tarantula/etc.

[–]Toof 3 points4 points ago

Because of the personification of cats, dogs and horses. I don't get it, myself.

[–]boredatwork920 0 points1 point ago

I didn't really like donkey meat. though it might have to do to the fact that it was in a dumpling

[–]ImJET 4 points5 points ago

Horse is healthy, cheap and tastes great.

[–]badabingbadabang 2 points3 points ago

actually pigs are very intelligent, self aware creatures who can be trained to do a lot of things

Also, a lot of people keep them as pets

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/science/10angier.html?_r=1

[–]unclairvoyance 22 points23 points ago

I agree. As a Chinese-American, I've never personally had dog, but if the opportunity arose for me to try it, I would be quite open. North Americans are disgusted by the thought of eating dog, but so are Hindus when it comes to beef, or Muslims when it comes to pork.

[–]curt_schilli 21 points22 points ago

I think it's mainly because, to us at least, dogs are these cute animals that often become part of your family and they begin to feel like a child or sibling.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]newsoundwave 0 points1 point ago

Sundae is delicious and bondaegi is just... different. I don't like it quite as much.

But Sundae is just asianified blood sausages (if you're European you're probably familiar with that).

[–]socohobo -1 points0 points ago

I may have had a bad batch. Certain pojangmacha are better than others. Although I'm still not a fan of dalkbal or the 'sand pocket'. _V

[–]dumdumdurr 3 points4 points ago

I'm Korean-American and have had a fair amount of dog. The difference is that some people only see dogs as their pets and not as food. I have no regrets eating dog at a restaurant (these dogs are bred and raised like cattle), but I'd never want my pet dogs to be turned to food (unless there was a famine or something).

[–]Down71 3 points4 points ago

Because most people from North America and Europe are brought up in a culture that keeps dogs as family companions, with farm animals being kept for food or work. It's no surprise that most of them view dogs differently. Why do you not understand this? You honestly don't understand why people from one culture don't agree with certain things another culture does? Personally, I don't understand why people compare farm animals that have been farmed in a similar way for thousands of years, with an animal that has basically evolved side by side with humans as our companions, and not just used for food.

I guess it also depends on whether or not you grow up with dogs.

[–]badabingbadabang 8 points9 points ago

I dont think you get my point sir/maam.

What I was trying to say was, it is accepted amongst us North Americans to eat pork/beef etc. and keep dogs as pets.

But other cultures view it differently, maybe even the exact opposite way and that it OK and should be acceptable that they view it that way.

Maybe you took what I said too literally, I apologize for the wording then.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]CuriousMidget 5 points6 points ago

You can maybe also understand that dogs are dumb as fuck, and it would be more immoral to eat pigs (4th smartest animal) than to eat dogs.

Eating dogs is not worse than eating any other animals.

[–]hwamil 0 points1 point ago

Well, most people don't have pigs as companions. There's just this sentimental value lodged within the collective social consciousness of homo sapiens that "a dog is a man's best friend". There is also this other sentiment that goes "mmm... bacon..." For Asians who like the taste of k9 meat, just replace bacon with dawg.

[–]HowsItBeenBen -1 points0 points ago

because pork was bred and domesticated for eating. Dogs were bred and domesticated as companions and work animals.

[–]mangysquirrel 27 points28 points ago

My parents were doing some renovations on our house a few years ago, and we had just adopted a Pomeranian puppy. The man in charge of the work crew (we'll call him Joey, because that's what my mother called him since she couldn't pronounce his name) was Korean, and often chatted with my mother. One day, we were all sitting around the puppy, and Joey (whose english was very broken) came up to us and said, "In Korea, dog food really good". My mother naively replied, "yes, we also buy her very good dog food". Joey shook his head, sat down by my dog, and made chopping motions down her body. My mother freaked the fuck out and never let him near my dog again.

[–]madcaesar 6 points7 points ago

He just wanted to give the dog a Swedish massage :(

[–]hwamil 1 point2 points ago

If I was Joey, I would have rather gestured the motions of using chopsticks and nomnoming motions with my mouth.

[–]Draiko 5 points6 points ago

Little known facts: Italians used to eat cats and "roof-rabbit" was a common food all over Europe during the "Bad times" of both World Wars.

How many people know that they eat dog in certain parts of Switzerland?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_dog#Switzerland

[–]AvatarJack 10 points11 points ago

What's funny is, the people who say this don't see anything wrong with eating pig and cow.

[–]curt_schilli 14 points15 points ago

To most Americans a dog becomes a part of your family once you buy one, I'm sure people would have a problem with a cow being eaten if they treated it with the love we treat dogs or cats.

[–]TFWG 14 points15 points ago

You mean like.. in India?

[–]curt_schilli 6 points7 points ago

Yes, in India, but WE don't feel that way in the US, so we eat them, that's why some Asian people may eat dogs, because they don't feel that way either.

[–]TFWG 0 points1 point ago

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass what's on my dinner plate as long as it's not MY dog or any family/friends I care about.. And yes, that means I wouldn't have any hang ups over cannibalism.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]uat2d 1 point2 points ago

If anything, you're more likely to get a disease from eating animal meat than by eating human meat - humans tend to get a much better healthcare than other animals.

Not that I'll advocate cannibalism, but that's a silly argument.

[–]CuriousMidget 1 point2 points ago

Honestly, if it is possible to have lab-grown human meat, I don't see why eating it would be bad. Probably won't be delicious since carnivores tend to have worse meat quality.

[–]The_Batman_44 1 point2 points ago

his point is that some cultures look at us and go, "they eat pork? blasphemy!" or "oh my god, they eat cows? that's sacrilegious!"

when you look at our culture through the lens of a Muslim or Hindu, you'll see that what is normal for us in our culture is totally bizarre for somebody else in theirs.

you see, everybody is fucked up to somebody else

[–]toadwarrior 1 point2 points ago

Nothing wrong with that but of course if I'm in a country that sold dog meat, I'm gonna try it.

[–]wanders13 2 points3 points ago

One of my best friends is from Hong Kong. He makes more racist asian jokes than anyone I know. I think it's great when people embrace their own racial stereotypes as for the most part they are not true so you might as well enjoy the joke.

He can't drive for shit though.

[–]froghorn 0 points1 point ago

I used to think this, too, when I was younger. But as I moved around the country more and met more different groups of people, I realized that there are quite a lot of people out there who take such jokes at face value and believe the stereotypes. They go on to say that stereotypes exist for a reason, etc.

What they should say is, some stereotypes exist for a reason, and lots of stereotypes are bullshit with stereotypes from different sides contradicting each other sometimes and stereotypes changing overtime.

Confirmation biases play a large role, obviously.

[–]ArbitraryPerseveranc 3 points4 points ago

[–]AsianSensation3 0 points1 point ago

You know I thought this was a terrible stereotype until my Chinese exchange student roommate was petting my dog and then said in his cutest voice possible, "Oh Juno, I want to eat you!"
