No, I didn’t take it the wrong way at all. While it’s not generally acceptable, I still use it saying a particular breed of dog is dangerous or aggressive. It’s like saying a particular breed of human is dangerous or aggressive. Both of these statements are incorrect, no breed of human is significantly more aggressive than any other breed of human and the same can be said for animals. Do certain breeds have propensity to certain types of behaviors absolutely do certain breeds have a build that makes them more capable in aggressive situations most certainly. But to lump them all together and say well the Irish and the Australians drink more is just falling back on stereotypes. If we do it with humans were being racist, but it seems to be OK to do it Dogs.
Normally bite when they feel threatened or frightened. If a toy poodle bites you it’s a trip to the bathroom if a cane Corso bites you. It’s a trip to the emergency ward.

When a dog meets you and your frightened of him, he wonders why are you frightened to me? If he’s not being aggressive, then he finds this confusing. But we have far more intelligent dog whisperer on this for him who can answer questions much better than I can. I’ve never been afraid of a dog or anything that looks like a dog in my life so aggressive Dogs find this confusing they don’t sense the fear or smell the fear, and this usually works as a disconnect. This was something I was born with so I have no understanding of it. Anna, one of our members is a incredible dog whisperer and trainer and can help and has helped many of us on this forum, including myself understanding, canine behavior and I’m sure if you ask, she will help you as well.
