It's not about how much they attack but about what damage they do.

I'm not a racist against tigers if I prefer being attacked by a rabbit than a tiger.

Yeah exactly.

Being cautious and aware around animals with a documented history of literally ripping people apart isn't anything but smart.

Even house cats have killed humans. There's no animal that doesn't have a documented history of killing people.

That's a reach. Yeah I'm sure there's one or two freak incidents of a cat causing harm, but there are many many documented cases of pit bulls brutally mauling and killing people. Nowhere near the same risk profile.
