So, why was the show cancelled?
Due to our different histories and experiences, different words mean different things to racial groups. For instance, comparing Trump to an Orangutan is considered mean, etc. The comparison is mainly due to the color of hair. It is not a racial attack.
However, on the other hand, comparing blacks to any of the primate family is deeply rooted in an association of low intelligence, etc. It denegates the whole racial grouping of people.
The association is even extended to making the association of foods such as a banana, watermelon, fried chicken, greens, etc. A white person bring these foods to a black get together will have racial implications. However, if the person took those foods to an all white get together that will be zero racial implications.
No, this is not a double standard. It is appreciating our histories and the complexity of human interaction and existence.
