Is saying that a Black person resembles a monkey necessarily racist?
I don't know... Patrick Ewing does have gorilla-like features.
But is it racist to say that someone possess physical traits which are more commonly associated with animals?
Doesn't Reese Witherspoon look like a Shih Tzu?
Celine Dion, Camilla Bowles, Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker are often referred to as being 'horse-faced'.
And even when Kirstie Alley still looked good she was still somewhat lizard-like in appearance.
Okay, maybe OB-GYN Dr. Lisa could also sell car insurance - but sometimes some people can be said to look like certain animals without it having to be racist.

About Me
"In my opinion"
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs;
"We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem;
"...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression;
"Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

Welcome
Although I'm pretty tired of the "Race is King" mantra usually put forward by past and current polemics, race-relations (and the improvement of such) is always a good topic of civilized conversation. I've been called "Uncle-Tom" more times than I've been called "N-----". When I volunteer at the local Habitat for Humanity, I'm often the only black working who's not trying to get a house. When I volunteer at the local shelter, I'm usually the only black on the giving end. Something is wrong or deficient with Black-culture (as it is practiced today). Don't say that I don't know the ghetto, I'm originally from the ghetto. My ghetto-pass wasn't pulled, like my middle school I.D., it expired. I graduated. Now, I say middle school because too many blacks haven't graduated from high school. (Detroit, anybody ?) Please feel free to bring up any topic but please refrain from misusing epithets and downgrading others. Thank you, UBJ

White southerners have been saying what you just said for years. Yeeeeaaaaars, as in since the day the civil war ended and the "way its always been" began. After all, "we arent racist, they really are like monkeys".
No, it's not nice. because humans consider other animals to be beneath them. So it is a pejorative term. and especially when discrimination and racism exists.
@ brohammas - "Looks like" and "Is like" are two different things.
I think Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters looks like a caveman.
@ Desertflower - I have large eyes and kids used to call me Kermit (the frog).
I have a toothy grin and kids used to clown me about having horse teeth.
I don't have a flat wide nose so kids used to call me Dino (the pet on the Flintstones).
As I've grown into my features they've worked out in my favor.
As I said to brohammas, "looks like' is not the same as "Is like".
Wanna throw more than one man into the mix? Or is it only women whose appearances matter quite so much?
Ok...after re-reading, I rescind...partially. But only pics of women not any of the coupla men you mention still feels funny.
