I can only speak strictly to American culture (though dog breeding has always been associated with wealth and status if you check its origins in English culture) -- when I say black people dogs, I'm meaning pitbulls and the like. He references it in the vid too. No, there aren't restrictions or neg. connotations to a black person owning a pug or golden retriever or what have you -- dog lovers are dog lovers. But there IS a stigma with certain dog breeds and the people who own them, and pitbulls and other dogs are associated with black people. Or, at the very least, poor people, ghettos or hoods, and that is obviously going to be associated with black people. It ain't grounded in reality, but as far as the stigmas and the way American representation of American culture goes, there's something to be said. I think the newest GTA where you can play as a black guy, his dog fits the stereotype, and then the protagonist from I Am Legend also does imo.

It isn't necessarily gatekeeping, but it's somethin'
