I would agree that it is 'speciesist' ....
yes I am suggesting that because there are more situations in which you cannot use that word than there are grains of sand on the beach
Maybe that is more of a thing in America? I haven't really noticed any big deal about the word over here (though people everywhere do seem to be getting more and more enjoyment about being offended by stuff)
Many people over here refer to their kids as 'monkeys', I wouldn't think there is a racial connotation in that.
So do people in the States see the word as a racial slur. Sure, lots of white people do look like monkeys - especially the proboscis monkey - but I wouldn't have thought they would all get offended. Monkeys are cool little animals, so white people should get that monkey off their back
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
