Okay, so can you please point out the racial aspect of a white person calling another person a monkey.

This article clearly states that white European people calling black people monkeys is a pseudo-science based racial slur.
Basically it was saying they were superior to black people.
But I fail to see how, say two London born men calling one another a monkey has any racism about it.
Maybe if a London born man called an Irish man a monkey, I could see that as racism.
But in the first example Spencer, a new Zealand born Somaon player, which means either one or two of his parents are Somaon. Calls Ezra Mam, a man of Aboriginal and Torres Strait parents a Monkey.
Is this a display of Somaon superiority? As opposed to white superiority?
And on the other hand would an Aboriginal player that called a Samoan player a coconut, would that be a racial slur?
Or is it just monkey?
But monkey can be used as an affectionate term, refer link.

So wouldn't the context of the term monkey be taken into consideration?
I cannot see how a Samoan guy calling an Aboriginal guy a monkey as being intentionally a racist slur.
