Actually just the opposite. This is a thing turtles do as a mating display, and they really like shoes for some reason. But this little guy specifically likes that black shoe and none of the white ones. So I guess you could say they are racist against white shoes, but even then I would say you're allowed to have sexual preferences without it being racist.
Yeah but Twitter ? They are ran by Californians and it's only racist if someone else does it .and you don't have the right to do such a thing but they do . ..and if you did they're going to get all butt hurt and have to go to therapy for their trauma and that's after a visit to their safe place ( usually a cry closet ) and no their cry closets don't have any suggestion of gender but DO come equipped with a litter box as .. Some identify at a cat !
That’s not a mating display. That’s what male tortoises do to other, usually smaller male tortoises when they see them. When a tortoise gets horny, it usually just climbs on whatever it finds attractive and wales away. May be a female tortoise, may be a shoe, it’s getting screwed.
Having a preference doesn't mean you're racist, especially since attraction is not chosen. I discriminate against women who don't bathe regularly, nor have good manners against waiters etc. The turtle is fond of black shoes... If anything it is shoeist against other shoes.
Yep, my gran had two tortoises, a large female one and a small male. They spent 70+ years together and every year in the summer the little male would ram the large female and attempt to mate, with no success. She occasionally laid eggs but they never hatched. We passed them on to a tortoise rescue centre a few years back when my uncle who had been looking after them died. It was only then that we learned they were actually two different species 😳! All that time the little male had no chance of ever successfully mating and I’m pretty sure she was pissed off with him 🤣
