Right. I called a girlfriend's young, toe-haired daughter Little Monkey. It was my preferred term of endearment for her. It doesn't sound like it was used as a term of endearment in this instance but was meant to pont out mindless or chaotic behavior. Truth be told, I have considered it as being off the table for usage with blacks even in innocence.

As have I....isn't that sad though? I believe this teacher meant no harm and probably regretted her monkey comment once it came out. She was probably thinking that this kid wouldn't take it the wrong way but hey, we do live in "everyone's a victim" society.
