Also popular to your believe, show me where my dogs would be more aggresive to a white person. My best friends are white, and they are always around my dogs. So as I stated those statements are full of ****.
I believe you meant to say "Contrary to your beliefs"

There is a thread of truth to the idea of dogs picking favorites. Men, women, white people, black people, Asian people.... they all smell different. A black man will have a much different scent than a white woman or an Asian man. Dogs have an extremely acute sense of smell, as we all know, and will be more comfortable with the smells that are most familiar... most like home. When I was up near Hoschton, me and my three female roommates got a lab puppy. The puppy had been abused, and we nursed it back to health and whatnot. To this DAY, Sheba does NOT like men... We're pretty sure it was a guy who was abusing her, and we got her when she was like 4 months old. Now she's 4 years old. She lives with my friend Mallory and her fiance now, and when Mallory's not home, Sheba is hiding. She's terrified of men, almost to a point where it's not worth the trouble to take her out to the park and stuff. To me, Mallory, and any other girl that meets her, she is a sweet, outgoing pup. She meets a guy, and she is cowering back, pulling away, and if the guy really pushes it, she will get aggressive. Not just grown guys, either... kids, adults... she doesn't care.

Granted, situations only get that extreme when there's abuse involved (generally), but it speaks worlds about a dog's ability to discriminate.
