Macaca... Welcome to America!

<< < (2/5) > >>

Real American:
What exactly does Macaca mean?

Ant:
Macaca (also written as macaque) is a dismissive epithet used by Francophone colonials in Africa for native populations of North and Subsaharan Africans.[1] It is also sometimes used as a code word in the White Power Movement, to refer to blacks and other non-Caucasians.[2] It is derived from the name of the genus comprised of the macaque primates.

Um.....no. That is not what "Macaca" means.

That Wikipedia page wasn't even created until after this whole controversy with George Allen came about. Obviously some liberal was intent on portraying Allen as a racist and went and created that page with a made up definition. Nice try though.

Macaca is NOT a racial slur.

If you want to find a true racial slur, look up what Senator Joe Biden said about Indians about a month ago. Oh wait I forgot, Biden is a Democrat so of course Ant isn't going to post that article.
