Ah, so it’s not the people committing the racism’s fault, it’s the fault of anyone that recognises that it’s racism?

if that is what he meant, he really should have found a better way to portray it, I am sure he could have made his point without using a monkey and the obvious connotations

Kate & William have had 3 children and I don't remember a silly "joke" about a performing monkey leaving the hospital with them , I don't understand how people can defend Baker .

That was probably designed for black mothers to stick 2 fingers up at racists to be fair.
