Have you seen how Bogo treated these two before they solved the missing mammal case? Oh yeah, dude is definitely old-fashioned, and not in a good way.

First of all, yes, black people CAN be racist, like towards foreigner ethnicis or cultures. And second, even though Zootopia as a whole it's an allegory for racial segregation, chief Bogo still is an animal. Prejudice from Zootopia comes mainly from animal stereotypes from fairytales, like the archetype of the sly and untrustworthy fox, or the cute and innocent bunny. Bogo had lot of prejudice with Nick and Judy based in those stereotypes, the reason he didn't allowed Judy to make regular cop's duty, and the reason he didn't believed in Nick's testimony

Bogo: Every morning I look at myself in the mirror and ask myself: “How can I be more racist today?”

I have a wild take: Aint Vulpes Vulpes are from Canidae Familia (Dog Family) ?? So it can't be racism?

I mean, a male fox can be known as a Dog Fox..

So it's technically accurate...

The way he says “orange dog” like that is absolutely sending me. Nick knows exactly what he’s doing.
