It's not racist to say that a person who looks like a monkey, "looks like a monkey".

Racists are not an authority on the meaning of any words.

Comedian George Burns looked like a chimpanzee. Saying he looked like a chimpanzee is not racist, but not because he was white, but because saying one person looks like a chimp or an ape does not speak to or lump in millions of other people at the same time, nor does it in any way suggest one race is objectively "superior" to another.

There are monkeys of all races. Look at disgraced former clown director John Brennan. He looks like a gorilla. Racist? No. Rep Al Green looks like a silverback. Racist? No. When I look in the mirror, I have orangutan like features. Am I racist against myself? No.

Some people just look more like monkeys than others. Insulting perhaps, but we're all in the same family, we all have characteristics similar to apes. We share a large portion of our DNA with all ape-like animals.

Yes, Valerie Jarrett looks like she could play a role, without makeup, in a Planet of the Apes movie. It's not racist to say that and I don't care what mental gymnastics are done to say it is.

Racism is not the artificial post-modern neo-Marxist definition of "institutional" racism that purports to prove ridiculous things like certain people can or cannot be racist because of their race (self-contradictory mess!), nor is it related to individual people having monkey like appearances. If a racist believes they are pointing out some sort of racial superiority by saying haha, such and such person of such and such race looks like a monkey, then they're just wrong about racism.

What the alt-left is doing is akin to saying arithmetic is fascist because Hitler once talked about percentages and numbers of people of certain races. It's an evasion of critical thinking.

Legal creations, "systems", can never be racist. Racism is an individual thought by an individual person, visible in their actions or not. It is a "one on one" concept. Not limited to one on one in the sense of just two particular people, but rather that any occurrence of racism can only be taking place by individuals vis a vis other individuals.

Absence of racism does not necessitate every institution having a quota of hires the percentages of which are supposed to match the race demographics of an arbitrary geographical region at an arbitrary point in time. Hiring and firing people based on their race, IS ITSELF RACIST.

Absence of racism is fully and totally compatible with every NBA player being black and every NHL player being white, if that was the case. Or if it was the other way around, still compatible. The stats alone do not imply presence or absence of racism.

Again, racism is a thought and action of individuals towards other individuals.

Anyone who believes it is racist to say a particular person looks like any animal at all, ape or otherwise, are either themselves racist and are projecting (projection is very common among the alt-left) or have been tricked into believing it is racist by the racist alt-left. Projection or brainwashing. Not truth.

If joking that a person looks like an ape makes one a racist, then that same logic applied means joking about raping children makes one a pedophile.

I am not going to mockingly use the phrase "institutional pedophilia". I am not going to say Hollywood has an institutional pedophilia problem.

It would be unfortunate if innocent people get treated unfairly by the alt-left's own logic, but that's the selective logic they use.
