On a global context comparison of black people to ape-like creatures is unacceptable on social media sites.
It is on par with comparing women to domestic equipment, Jews to vermin, black people to farm equipment, Muslims to goat-fuckers, Africans to rapists etc.
It is dehumanising speech.
A lot of people here don't face racism on a daily basis but if you did, this stuff becomes more important to you.
