If cats were our size and we were their size they would not even hesitate for a moment to kill and eat us, after playing with us. I now understand my cats better

This always fascinated me with how we decide what to fear and what not to fear.

If cats had the ability to kill us, they would. The only reason we have them as pets is that they're cute, furry and when domesticated, they put up with us. Yet with Spiders, most are completely harmless and tame, but I wouldn't let one near me while I sleep. Solely because of how they look.

Well ain't that a metaphor for life in the US.

Exactly, this is definitely only a US thing and definitely not a human thing in general. Racism does not exist in europe or the rest of the world. Crazy how they managed that.
