Racist?

 Is saying that a Black person resembles a monkey necessarily racist?
I don't know... Patrick Ewing does have gorilla-like features.

 But is it racist to say that someone possess physical traits which are more commonly associated with animals?

 Doesn't Reese Witherspoon look like a Shih Tzu?

 Celine Dion, Camilla Bowles, Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker are often referred to as being 'horse-faced'.

 And even when Kirstie Alley still looked good she was still somewhat lizard-like in appearance.

Okay, maybe OB-GYN Dr. Lisa could also sell car insurance - but sometimes some people can be said to look like certain animals without it having to be racist.
