I am aware what a macaque is. I've even seen a few in my day. However, I still have no idea what that has to do with Allen's comment:
"This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt, macaca, or whatever his name is. He's with my opponent. He's following us around everywhere. And it's just great,"
It appears to me that Allen was trying to use a funny sounding nonsense word to somewhat belittle this guy. The fact that "macaca" happens to be a word used somewhere to describe a type of macaque is a tad esoteric.
A simple apology was sufficient. Allen's hand-wringing, and bowing to whatever altar that he is directed to pay homage to, is making him appear guilty of an offense far in excess of what was originally said. He is not leadership material.
I think you've nailed it. Good lord, enough of this already.
