How so?
- LukeShu 14y agoTo many people to call someone a monkey is to say that the race they belong to is less evolved; biologically closer to monkeys.
- Resident_Geek 14y agoSure, but what indication is there that the comment is referring to her race?
- cynwoody 14y agoAbsolutely none. Indeed, to accuse an insulter of racism for deriding someone as belonging to another species is to conflate the concepts of race and species. At best that's ignorant; at worst it's racist! As to the prosecutor's species, isn't the saga of Aaron Swartz sufficient evidence? As to her race, have a look at her picture and judge for yourself: http://goo.gl/JNck7 http://goo.gl/JNck7
- Hario 14y agoYes, because people who call out racism are the REAL racists.
