In this day and age, of 24 hour news cycles, and hypersensitivity, apparently, yes.

On the other hand, a possible presidential candidate of French Tunisian descent, who apparently speaks or has spoken French relatively well, and doesn't know the meaning of the words he is using is ripe for this kind of thing. It's not like politicians don't know that they are constantly under the microscope.

If as many Americans don't know that macaque refers to monkeys as is being suggested, well, I don't know what to say. Read a few books, turn on animal planet, watch discovery, or the history channel maybe.
