102. It is a racial slur and
I find it incredible that anyone would say it is not. Why would any white person, knowing that blacks in this country have often been referred to as gorillas,monkeys, coons and other disgusting names, use the word ape when referring to a group of black children. If it is used when referring to whites by other whites, perhaps its not racial but used when referring to hlacks it is a racial slur.
