Monkeys and racism.


Recommended Posts

So is David Attenborough and the BBC racist for doing documentaries on apes and such?

 

Next thing whites will be called racist simply for being white, where is this all going, lock us all up and oppress us with with ridiculous tactics like this. Where's Mel the Bel when we need defending!

We are apes.

 

We should be classified as apes - to wit, a variety of chimpanzee - but we are not. For entirely egotistical reasons, humanity is listed as a separate genus from all the other primates.

 

The official line is that both humans, and apes, shared a common ancestor in the distant past. (Well, so did humans and tomato plants if you really want to talk about the very distant past...) So officially you are wrong, but you shouldn't be.
