Which is not racist. In this context, it’s a compliment because monkeys are superior to humans in the traits that he’s comparing. Michael Phelps is sometimes called the “flying fish” because he, like fish, is a good swimmer.

You are so detached from reality saying it was a compliment.
Phelps being called a fish isn't even comparable you psycho.

Says the person that believes calling a black man playing sports a monkey is not racist.
Go read this to any black person and ask them what they think.
