The comment was not not racist.

The way things are today, if you say "ape" around anyone who is a little bit black, or even identifies as black, it is by definition a racist comment. Intent doesn't matter.

Myself, I don't think ValJar looks like an ape so much as one of the lizard people. It's in the bone structure.

Hum. I think chimpanzees have Pink Skin. Yes. ValJar does look lizardy to me.
