Epikouros Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Whether "monkey" is racist or not, depends on the local language & culture, even dialect, of the person using the word, and most importantly the ethnicity of the person the word is used against. Also on the current mentality. In a politically diverse & international environment like this one, things can easily get lost in translation. When I was a kid (in non-English speaking Western Europe, in an almost mono-ethnically white environment, so not a big city), it was a term to denounce stupid (male) behavior of someone of any race (in practice: mostly white). Just like "ass", or "donkey", they were used as synonyms, often in the same sentence. "Monkey" is still used that way in my environment, but less so. Could be a sign of the times (more awareness), or simply due to the fact I don't live in a small town anymore but in a bigger city that is more ethnically diverse. Probably a combination of both. I still use it 'in my mind', (or when the person I use the word for is just as white as me), but would look for another word if the person I refer to has foreign roots, to avoid misunderstandings (ass, or donkey come to mind, but these are translations from my native tongue: English may have better alternatives). In anger of course, one might use a word they've known since their childhood without overthinking it first... And to complicate matters there are also the actual racists who gleefully use it on the one hand (possibly while denying they're racist), and some anti-racism activists on the other hand, who might 'nail you to the cross' just for inadvertedly using the word you've known since childhood in a non-racist context... It's a difficult world we live in... Edit: I may get flak from both sides of the argument now. Actually, I'd be worried if it only came from one side... Ideally, there'd be none though, and all would sing kumbaya. Fat chance, lol. 😉 2

You are right... in fact this is a chat whose main purpose is to offend people: both rlc participants and people who think differently. 🤔

And you can't be offended, cause this is way above your level.

Ma per qualche strana ragione le persone come te si offendono se qualcuno chiama 2 ragazzi scimmie. Well! I see that Xarvaz is much more reasonable than you in the end. He replied to me politely and deleted the word "monkeys" in his post so as not to fuel controversy. For this reason I stopped ignoring him. But you continue to support a lost cause: congratulations! 1 1
