Please explain how monkey bread is racist? I know calling people monkeys can be racist, but that has nothing to do with monkey bread or why it's called that.

I looked it up, named after how you eat it, by pulling it apart like a monkey.

Honestly it's kinda wild to me that we just automatically assume racism when we hear the word monkey these days. We either need to rename the animal then or learn nuance imo.

Like ok fine "can't say monkey" but I really like the members of the climbey hairy bois genus, they're adorable especially Squirrel Climbey Hairy Bois.

mmm, monke

calling someone a monkey is just scientifically accurate anyways, it should be as offensive as calling a female dog a bitch, like hm yes that is indeed what it is
