It's all so ridiculous. We don't come from monkeys anyway. We share a common ape like ancestor and branched off between six to thirteen million years ago. Modern monkeys developed down one branch of that and modern apes another...we are a type of great ape, we never developed from monkeys, we developed from apes. So connecting skin colour to monkeys isn't only stupid but it's not very accurate.....and to the extent that it has any relevance at all.....we are all great apes regardless of skin colour. The people taking offence are nearly as annoying as those giving it because by making these connections they are keeping this nonsense alive. Everyone needs to grow up.

Im white and and my partner was borne in the UK but both her parents came from St Vincents in the 1960's.They are as all as British as me. Ive shown them the advert and they think its funny, not racist. This is a great point, but it will miss the mark with lefties on HOL who only see you by your race rather as an individual.
