Get over yourselves. In most "English" speaking countries a little monkey = a little rascal. It's just a phrase, and it's in common usage outside the States. IMHO your interpretation of it as racist says more about your own views, and your own surrender to political correctness.

Sorry, wrote a nice detailed reply and then lost it! In Brief: certainly not intended at / for you personally, and apologies if that's how it appeared... I think the main defining criterion to justify taking offence at something is if it was intended to cause offence. If one takes offence at something said innocently that's a bit silly, as the person doesn't even know they've caused offence. Certainly, they are in a poor position to defend themselves if they don't even recognise the fact that they might need to.

Yes. I grew up in the West Indies and there are phases that we used to described things or people. In America it is offensive or they don't understand. If I call you a buller would you know what it means the first time around.
