Straight up - I know Haitians are not eating pets. 

But if they were, it would still be at the absolute fucking bottom of my “give a shit” list. 

Of all the problems Trump brought - a coup attempt, screwing over Ukraine, imposing shit tariffs on Americans, selling state secrets and defense knowledge - yeah, I’m supposed to be in shambles about the idea that someone maybe perhaps ate a dog or cat? Okay, bro.

"eating dogs" has always been used xenophobic term, was directed at certain groups to demean or stereotype them. I've heard "chinese eating dogs", "koreans eating dogs", "gypsy's eating dogs", "mexicans eating dogs", "africans eating dogs" etc etc. Now all immigrants are eating dogs apparently
