That's... A similar but very very different thing from this definitely racist comic.
Going to just jot you down as bad actor real quick here. You guys can pretend this isn't the most blatant dog whistle all you want.
It's The Picard Maneuver. Your virtue signaling is adorable.
That's only related in the sense that there's an ape, they don't say any of those racist lines in the Simpsons episode.
So it is. I have been wrong this entire thread. Not sure what else to do here other than admit that. Still feels super racist without context and like it's just skating by on technicality, but you're absolutely right and if I had watched the entire video I would have known that sooner. I can't say for sure this is a dog whistle, because it does quote a show directly, but it still carries most of the hallmarks.
