Monkey meat is a common food in Veitnam. , this and dog meat is normal in many Asian countries. It's a cultural norm for a species indigenous to the reason, kinda like every cultures food.
If you think it's wrong or immoral, I'd suggest doing some thinking on what exactly is the difference from eating cow, sheep, chicken or pig. Either all animals are fair game or they aren't. It would be hypocritical and racist to ignore or limit another cultures traditions.
I didn't say anything about the morality of eating apes. I'm pointing out that the meme is literally calling an ape a Viet Cong and everyone else seems to be ok with equating the two.
You're misunderstanding the meme, Idk if willfully so since OP has already clarified it for you but that's not what it is saying. Reading the ape as a viet cong is a reach and you should let this go.
