I'd like to believe that, but what I've seen so far in competition between two people of the same race for the job - they refer to themselves as warriors or professional boxers, not animals.

IMO, if you have to fight dirty, you don't deserve the prize. Only the most vicious and deceitful person wins, not the best one for the job.

I can't think of a single instance when a respected white competitor was compared to an animal to be destroyed or owned. Can you?
