Racist picture on the Observer?

[pantherj]

that's why stereotypes are so stupid. When I was a kid I had a white friend who looked more like a monkey than any of my black friends and he had an afro...

Our former president George 'Dubya' Bush looked a little monkey like to me. All humans resemble monkeys to a certain degree.

I just thought it was a pretty controversial picture. It can be viewed as racist, or not.

[Jangler]

Not really. Plantains and bananas are two different things, and both are grown and eaten throughout Latin America.

Just in case anyone cared.

Racists will often claim that black people resemble monkeys, and monkeys are known to eat bananas. I highly doubt that was the idea behind this picture.

Im pretty sure it was the idea.

ok bud then you tell me what it was meant to be taken as. Im not racist one bit but since im not socially autistic i can look at this picture and clearly see that it refers to cam as a monkey. I know im not the only person that thought this right away.

And not a shot directly at you bro no bitter feelings
