Ugh the monkey thing really hits a sore spot with me. When I was a kid, the other students at my (over-privileged, primarily WASPy school) would tell me I had ‘monkey hands’ because my hands are uh, brown and my palms are very lined. I also remember a teacher in grade two, when we were watching a news report about a famine, say that the African babies were cute, ‘like little monkeys’. I was horrified. I remember putting up my hand and saying that was racist, and she more or less told me to shut up. This, with the daily questions like ‘When you lived in Africa, did you eat people’, and, ‘Do you have a bath every day? People from Africa don’t take baths every day’ got extremely old quickly.
The Jamie Johnson thing makes me wonder – if WASPs can’t handle Jewish money – what must they think of black people? Or any other race/ethnicity??

As an amateur scientist, Michael Medved makes a great movie critic. I really wish he would’ve stuck to giving out the “Golden Turkey Awards”. Now that I think about it, maybe he can give one to himself!
