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 think it’s more the massive influence of dogs as companion animals have had on western society. Maybe pigs would be a less niche pet in your example but I doubt it. Muslims also don’t eat pork and there’s 2 billion plus of them. Right around 2.5 billion Christians. I also don’t think it’s racist to be bummed XYZ people eat dogs.
Do Muslims make derogatory racist comments about cultures who eat pork?
Absolutely, if your argument is that muslims aren’t/cant be just as racist and xenophobic as anyone… well… good luck out there friend.
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.
My thought is that dogs and pigs are on such a completely different level of companionship OPs point is moot regardless it’s not a possible comparison given the emotional attachment.
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.
