I didn't get any credit for being the first to call BS on "god." Turns out it was Hack playing a joke. I knew it!!! You can't fool me.

...let's put it this way, if he had posted this here at Jazzfanz....he would have been dinged with an "infraction".....which doesn't go away for 6 months! I've been dinged twice for just mentioning the white, soft, fuzzy stuff that use to be picked in the fields in the deep South!

Lol. I guessed it was hottyk, but Hack was my second guess.
When you talk to your friends, PC-ness is not a thing. If some random *** person posted a pic of Rush and a Monkey, it might be racist.

How is it racist? Rush posted a picture of a monkey and said it looked like Gobert. Gobert laughed. Where is the racism?
I don't care if anyone else is offended by it.
Now, if Gobert is offended by it, then that is a completely different story.
Dude, can you not read? Pretty sure my wording was correct enough for it to make sense and that I thought it wasn't racist, just friends messing with each other. If it was a random person, it might be racist.
Yep, he's never here.
In answer to the original question: I'm not sure. I don't know enough about the French culture to say whether being compared to non-human primates was a common way to depict black people as sub-human. Had that been a post by Favors, the answer would be yes.
Not funny, even when meant sarcastically.

I think this is a cultural issue.
Rudy is french and probably unfamiliar with the ins and outs of American racism and its history with slavery and the subjugation of black people.
Posting pictures equating black people to monkey's is ****ing racist in America (it may be in other countries as well, but I don't know). It's a common insult used to put down black people in this country.
Rudy probably doesn't know this. I would not be surprised if Rush was offended, but I don't think Rudy meant it that way.

As has already been pointed out, comparing a black person to an ape is a common racist insult in America. If you're saying Rudy is racist, it has to be self-racism, or his white half hating on his black half.

Monkeys are probably the most popular subject matter when it comes to racist chants at soccer games in France, and in Europe.
