Same. Like I know babies look squishy and stuff as newborns, but to call the son a monkey was a bit much imo.
Tbh I think it is about how you view it. I did not even consider it about the skin. You know newborns are very ummm ugly in my opinion. I cracked a bit at that thinking it was right word to describe. Otherwise why make a dark skinned male lead which is very thoughtful, has always been in her wife's side , and ideal one at that
THIIIS.
I'm sorry, but freshly newborn isn't pretty. Their skin is wrinkly and their face hasn't developed enough.
After few days or week, then they started to developed and show their respective parent(or maybe grandparents) feature.
It's not about the skin color.
I don't mean they mean it in the way you're thinking. Newborns are LITERALLY ugly as shit and monkey is accurate because of how wrinkly they are
It's not. I am East African and we call our children little chimps climbing everywhere
Respectfully it’s a baby it’s not climbing no where. Now I get what you’re saying about calling little kids jumping around monkeys but she compared her baby’s looks to a monkey. Actions and looks are two different things.
No matter how “ugly” newborns look one shouldn’t call them monkeys let alone write it in a book.
Yes but babies are ugly. Until I came to the west I had no idea that being called a monkey is racist because it's an insult we use everywhere. You people just see how. Also monkeys are white underneath their fur..so that's a doozy
this is disengenious. the people you refer to have experienced rascism and have heard monkey be used as an insult toward those of darker complexion constantly (︶︿︶)＝凸 if were going by your logic history should just be ignored bc 'monkeys have white skin under fur'
Don't care if you believe me. The world is large. And grew up without social media. All we knew was Facebook. This is the last reply. Adiós
i do believe you but it doesnt mean that koreans havent been exposed to rascist terminology. which they have becuase there was backlash for them calling obama it. but ofc u do u. adios
That “he looks like a monkey” comment about the baby left a sour taste in my mouth. That was SO unnecessary! wtf
