Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3035797, member: 2290"] With the extremely well documented historical use of ape comparisons as racial denigration, the very recent controversies of “ape” comparisons in Australian sport, and the not-so-subtle racial undertones of the King Kong character, my original reply “you serious?” wasn’t necessarily suggesting that you are racist. It was more the fact that you couldn’t understand why others hadn’t already made King King comparisons. The level of ignorance to wonder why no one else was dumb enough to make similar comments is incredible. No one else has made similar comments because most people are aware of the very obvious racial insensitivity. And the argument that you praised his sporting ability and therefor can’t be racist is another glaring example of how clueless you actually are. Ironically the King Kong story line is literally about a powerful “savage” that gets dragged into white society and marched out before crowds of whites to gawk in awe of his size and strength. And despite his sympathetic qualities, he is never viewed as anything but an ape who exists solely for their entertainment. How fitting. [/QUOTE]
