The law says.

For the hard of thinking. If something is perceived as racist, it is racist. Not easy. But the law. Let me give you an example that was given to me. If my son was climbing a tree and I called him a ‘little monkey’ and it was heard by someone who found it racist, it would be racist. I’m not saying I agree with this, but it is the law. As I am told.
