In my opinion, it is quite obvious when someone means something as a racial slur or as an innocent comment. I do not support statements like "you should never call (someone) (something) because it is racist" just because some racists way back used it as a slur. That seems just genuinely crazy to me. Monkey not like chink or whatever other term where there is really no innocuous interpretation. Many parents and kids call each other monkeys, so I think context really matters here. I can absolutely see someone intending this to be a slur but I would think it would be super obvious in context.

This hot take is off topic to OPs post discussing the fact that her son was called a racist slur.

Good an answer.
If it's reported to school, school can talk to them. Explain if they didn't grow up here that it's more than just not cool to say, it should not be said and ask them to talk to kid or reinforce what school tells kid.

Was that so hard, dripping troll?

YOU apparently know why asking is bad. Because YOU know what the consequences should be.

You're just too awesome for words.

Stop this ride. I want out.

Things that are now off limits to say:

“Monkey see, monkey do”
“Monkey business”
“10 little monkeys jumping on a bed”
All of Curious George
“Stop monkeying around”
“I’ll be a monkey’s uncle”

Because kids might misunderstand. Because kids misunderstand just about anything because they haven’t learned anything yet.

Just ask a teacher all the wild things children have misunderstood. Just in my class, kids have thought: that soda was alcohol, so if I was drinking a Diet Coke it meant I was drunk; that a teacher retiring from her job meant she was about to die; that being sent to the principal’s office meant you were arrested and went to jail… these were 3rd graders.

It is never ok to call a black person a monkey.

No one has to answer your questions. Questions not asked in good faith, shouldn't be answered.

Judgment and disgust continues to drip drip drip, so mad that black people will not take abuse standing down.
