The only adult I know who is scared of dogs is from Pakistan. You are an adult, scared of dogs, and from a country that borders Pakistan. Is this racism or is it an observation based on fact?

No it is just ignorance on your behalf.

It is pretty easy for me to make associations like this as well. There are people will a myriad of profiles in all countries and if we start generalizing people from other countries based on one individual things will get pretty bad very soon.

Just relate to someone in your town, for example, that is an a-hole and you'll understand what I am talking about. I could very well put you in the same basket as him.

Calling every asshole a racist is a slippery fucking slope.

It's not rational to generalize a whole population or even a part of world, just by one person. I have seen many Iranian people who are very comfortable with dogs, and many of them have dogs since they are kids. On the other hand, I have seen people who were born in Canada, are not comfortable with dogs, as some of them had bad experiences when they were kids.
