This.
As someone who's repeatedly posted borderline xenophobic posts on this forum (see any thread about Islamic extremism) even I know that what he did was completely racist.
Not just that, it's the worst form of racism by far, equating someone of minority ethnicity to a simian is just vulgar.
Even worse when it's a baby, a clean sheet that hasn't adopted any kind of culture yet. He hasn't attacked Archie's personality, religion or political views, he's gone straight for the DNA makeup.
Saying that, had he photoshopped the chimp with a picture of a giant reptile egg I'd have found it hilarious.
