Why does your mind immediately jump to black people at the mention of chimpanzees? Sounds like you're the one with bias that needs unpacking.
Maybe as a person of color I might be a little sensitive to racial slurs being thrown around. You know, a lifetime of that shit does tend to get to you after a bit. Is that enough unpacking for you or does I need more justification for you to grace me with your blessings?
"Trumpanzee" or any other possibly racially charged bullshit, especially when we are talking about racism, is not something that needs defending.
Because it's been a way to dehumanize black people for literal centuries. And it hasn't gone away as doctored pictures of the Obamas can attest to.
