So when I call my nephew a little monkey, I'm being racist? Even though he's white? I might as well just throw the n-bomb at him.

Another disingenuous attempt to play dumb just for the sake of getting a reaction out of someone. You really do get boring sometimes.

You're either being disingenuous or stupid, I'm not sure which.

The word "gorilla" was fine in the context banana used it, ie it described a brute. You took it to mean something more. You're the one looking for racism where it doesn't exist. You're the one obsessed with skin colour and language.

Answer my question. Is it ok to call my nephew a little monkey? What if he was black?

Haha, it was 'fine' for you, but if you ask 100 random black people if it is 'fine' in ANY context, i reckon >90 will say 'fuck you'.

I'd also reckon about 70/100 white people would say it's a stupid thing to say, at the very least insensitive, at the most racist.

It's between you and him really, since it's not a racial slur to call a white person a monkey.

What if he was black?

Not really, no.

You know the saying 'doth protest too much'? You should, it was written by an English guy.

This is what I think of when someone gets so defensive about being called a racist that they actually threaten someone with physical harm. In that context, when they go on to use a racial slur it's not a big leap to find that notable, especially when they then try to defend that with multiple bullshit angles about "forgetting" the race of the person involved and pretending their not able to see that a man in a video who is plainly black is actually black.

I'll save you the trouble of your next post

"Well, actually, I couldn't tell if he was black either. The light was bad, he might have just been a white person with a really dark tan, something something, why are you obsessed with skin colour, something something."
