Racism In Apocalypse Now

... American photographer, the American makes a remark about the natives, “Watch out those goddam monkeys bite.” (Apocalypse Now) One could be lead to believe that he is suggesting that the natives are monkeys because they brownish, in colour, and they are wild and untamable.
