I should think it reminds people of times they've suffered abuse.
This is easy: the people that don't see the racism are racist for not seeing the racism. The people that do see the racism are racist for seeing it as racist.
and the follow up
If you look at that and instantly think "oh dear that's racist because he's black", then you are indeed racist.
Literally, all I see is a kid.

Well said Dan. My sentiments entirely.
Far too many people (on here as well as not on here) just want to see an excuse to show the race card.

I can't think I knew that some call black people monkeys, always associated it with kids. I call my son a monkey, he's half Chinese rather than fully black so guess that's OK? He says that I must be a monkey then as I'm his Dad.

You should hear what my 31 yr old calls me! It's usually something like, 'Dad, ya ****'
Oh thank you swear filter. Again.

Yes of course that's it. Clearly it's only the black slebs who are racist.

Had a sheltered life? I thought it was common knowledge that black footballers got abused with monkey chants and having bananas thrown at them (in the bad old days - hopefully that sort of thing has mostly stopped now) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/8898054/Former-Liverpool-star-John-Barnes-says-society-is-to-blame-for-racism-problem-that-football-just-cant-shift.html
Yes, but not when my black friends and their kids are around. (I have two black friends.)
I once said "chop chop!" to a chinese friend (who was dawdling)
I was mortified. It prompted a conversation about the fact I was pretty blind to her ethnicity - and had I not have been, how I wouldn't have said it.
The outcome was we agreed that I was a muppet, not a racist.
