[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4151505, member: 48469"] [URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49177034']Ronald Reagan called Africans at UN 'monkeys'[/URL] “Former US President Ronald Reagan described African delegates to the UN as "monkeys", in newly-unearthed tapes published by a US magazine. He made the comment in a 1971 telephone call with then-President Richard Nixon. Mr Reagan, who was governor of California at the time, was angered that African delegates at the UN sided against the US in a vote. Members of the Tanzanian delegation started dancing after the UN voted to recognise China and expel Taiwan. Mr Reagan, who was a supporter of Taiwan, called the president the following day to express his apparent frustration. He said: "To see those... monkeys from those African countries - damn them, they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes!" Mr Nixon, who quit as president in 1974, can then be heard laughing.” [/QUOTE]
