Deeply sorry. It is hardly a word that slips out unintended nor was it something they said years ago in their youth.

Reminds me of the racist gaffe by Howard Cosell.

I mean, we are all primates. Hardly seems like there was any malice behind what she said. But yeah, 2024. Gotta be very careful with your words, especially when you're in the public eye.

No, didn't seem malicious - just mindless babling I guess.

In other news - Robbie Williams is played by an ape in the new movie about his life.

I can honestly say I have never called anyone a primate. Why would she use the word?

May be she meant "prime mate" ...

The term primate is used in religious circles - the Archbishop of Canterbury is the Primate of All England, for example.

It was clearly just a slip of the tongue from a commentator who is herself of South Asian descent.
