Direct quote from the OPGlad the OP is acutely worried about coming across as offended when outlining what he’s offended by.
No he’s just a horrible banger who looks like a monkey. Why would it concern u if he’s pumped ma maw?
I wouldn't be concerned at all, that's their business.
Correct sir, excellent post.Just another example of the double standard. Nothing more. It’s actually a very odd story for them to write.
I’m not offended by it at all. I am offended by nothing, except, obviously, double standards of offence.
The BBC gleefully reporting that the Chinese think Gareth Bales looks like a Monkey. But it’s OK. It’s just a cartoon version of a Monkey God. In their classification of news it’s racist but they seem fine with it.
If our fans chose, oh let’s say a minority player from any team and compared him to an animal, BBC Scotland would be all over it and demand our arrest. Even if it was a cartoon God monkey. But when it’s the Chinese calling a Welshman a Monkey there’s no problem. It’s a hoot.

U wouldn’t be concerned at all but thought u would ask me anyway? I’d be surprised it my maw looked at him tbh was in
It's not missing the point. It's just that the point is ridiculous and completely misses out any context or history of the use of the word.
It's because it has been used for decades/centuries(?) as a racist term to dehumanise black people and paint the whole race as thick, inferior, sub-human savages. And when they have actually been treated like that by governments, workplaces and pretty much everywhere up until not long ago, it's probably best not to say it.
Saying a white person, who looks like a monkey, looks like a monkey does not have these racist connotations so while it might hurt his feelings, it's not the same thing. It's hardly some injustice that is making all white peoples suffer, it's saying Gareth Bale looks like a monkey.
I don't know - are you? The fact you went out your way to look for two images to compare a black guy to a monkey in a stopmotion film could hint towards that point of view. The connotation of comparing black people to monkeys has been pointed out a few times in this thread and is obvious.
Think these two lookalike
Am I racist
One of the best shows ever..
I don’t think he is?
Did ur missus like it?
For somebody who's not offended by it you seem very pissed off. The article is not racist, it's based on what happened in China. If anything it's drawing attention to China "racism".Just another example of the double standard. Nothing more. It’s actually a very odd story for them to write.

This 100%. An excellent post.It's not missing the point. It's just that the point is ridiculous and completely misses out any context or history of the use of the word.
