If a White person was compared to an ape, would that be treated as more acceptable?
If so, why?
Bill Mayer had a pic of Trump beside an Ape comparing them... His show wasn’t cancelled. In fact, Bill Mayer is trending on Twitter due to that pic.
That being said, you're feigning ignorance. There is a fairly sad history of racists referring to black people as monkeys, apes, etc., so it is rude and classless for someone to do that nowadays, amd pretty much begs for a backlash
I can't stand the mainstream media, but Roseanne tied and knotted the rope with which she was just hung.
