    So caricaturing Obama as a monkey wouldn’t be racist, then?

    He would even “deserve” it, being a war criminal and all that.

      <sigh> black people as a race are historically insulted by depicting them as primates and of course that would weigh much more than this case of a single Caucasian man. Hence racism as opposed to insult.

        Yeah, all of a sudden, russians are “caucasian”. It’s very convenient to hide racism behind “that’s not a race, though”. /s

        People used to be racist against italians, baltic people and the irish. Don’t tell me that a russian person is ok, because they’re “white”.
