Sexist and Racist?
even the dogs eat the crumbs from the childrens table
​
I believe it is 'from their masters' table' Mike, a nice piece of racial prejudice from the New Testament. In Mark it is the children's crumbs, but it is still the masters' table. But this isn't a reference to sexual equality, it is about racial equality and it is an argument that altered Jesus' entire ministry.

Re: Sexist and Racist?
Well replace 'children' with Jew and 'Dogs' with gentiles and read it again.
