Most Gibbons are white, so I would say yes, most definitely.

But its not a racist thing calling him monkey boy. If he were black then there would be uproar. Fact is he has the facial features of a monkey. End of. It aint racist.
No, it isn't, but...
I reckon it's pretty inadvisable to make monkey noises and/or gestures at a football match whatever the circumstances, given their historical significance. It's just bad taste. Likewise, it's pretty sad that a group of middle-aged fellas would take pleasure in taunting a young lad over his admittedly unfortunate facial features at a match.
It's not a particularly funny nickname anyway. Almost as bad as Dazby's 'Superjaw' moniker for Milner. Sorry, Dazby!
It doesn't upset me to the point where I'd try and shut down its usage on an internet forum, though.

Mancini has tried the same with Kolarov. LOL.

Is that why he's so angry all the time?
