Study: ‘Racialized’ dog names result in longer awaits for adoption"...UCLA’s Natasha Quadlin and Bradley Montgomery of Ohio State, both sociologists, note in Social Psychology Quarterly that, like non-human names, perceptions of Black names (such as “Leroy”) are “tied to slower times to adoption, with this effect being concentrated among pit bulls, a breed that is stereotyped as dangerous and racialized as Black.”
...University of Texas at Austin sociology Professor Chantal Hailey wrote “Anti-blackness is so pervasive it even expands to dog names” and Georgetown public policy Professor Don Moynihan said the study is an “[i]nteresting example of how racialized names still evoke bias even when dealing with non-humans.”..."
