What is really the lesson being taught here as Jesus speaks to a Gentile women.
Is the main lesson here that one ethnic group of people is justified by Jesus in despising another ethnic group as "dogs" - ie. far below themselves in dignity, humanity, worth ?
I don't think this section Matthew 15:21-28 has that as its intended point.

" But He answered and said, It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
