Like they do with dogs today.

There would be social pressure in China to stop eating pork so as to do civilisation better.

And nobody would ask why the Bible forbids eating pig meat; since pigs wouldn’t be food animals, asking why it’s wrong to eat them would be like asking why theft is wrong.

          I’m not making an argument at all.

          The thought was if Christians didn’t eat pork, they would look down on people who do. Since you mentioned that there already is a religious group that didn’t eat pork, I asked if they do what OP assumes porkless Christians would do

          If they do, then OP is in to something, if they don’t, then there’s no reason to think Christians would act differently.

              Pigs are as smart as dogs and especially while they’re little can be great pets. As they grow you gotta get them some room to live though. They get big.

              Isn’t this the exact same conversation Vince and Jules had in the diner in Pulp Fiction?

              But yeah, I totally agree. There would have to a huge increase in pet pigs before it got to the same level as eating dog.

              I hear they are very smart and make great pets, but I imagine most people would prefer something fluffier.

        I live in muslim majority country as a non-muslim, and the racist one sure do, some to the point of having superiority complex simply because of their religion. Racist will be racist no matter what condition you give them.

    I’m a Muslim man and I can tell you nobody cares, really. My MIL complains about the drug and booze culture, which are actual problems since you can’t go outside without seeing loud, sometimes aggressive groups of drunk/coked out white boys, or nonsense pushed by Western media. Non-Muslims eating pork is not even a topic I’ve ever talked about with any Muslim person.

    But yes, Western leaders (not just them, ofc, but they’re the most relevant and identifiable group that does this, even between themselves [“freedom fries” and the concept of “whiteness” come to mind]) will find and push any reason/narrative to make their already brain-dead, heavily propagandised, truth-agnostic people hate others, simply because they can then manipulate this sentiment, maybe pushing it far enough to make the average man cheer for death and destruction, and profit from it.

    “If XYZ people would make racist comments”

    Lmao you have no idea how often people make “do you eat cats and dogs?” “jokes” to me when I was in school. Both white and black kids, and even hispanic kids too, basically every Non-Asian makes those “jokes”…

    I don’t ever recalled eating a cat or dog…

    And even if some people do… you can’t really be judging what people eats in a country with a different culture and was in a war-torn state after the invasion by imperial japan. Would you rather people starve to death?

    Also I have a cat as a pet and its not food

    I’m Chinese American.

      What do you think they were trying to say? Because I don’t see anything that would warrant this reaction.

        It must ring true to them, full of hatred maybe?

        I’ve never seen a Muslim give a fuck what y’all eat but I’ve seen white boys try to taunt Muslims with pork more than once lol. Something is wrong with some of y’all
