Is this racially insensitive, part 916

Observing two cultural celebrations at the same time can lead to controversy, the Sacramento Kings learned this week. On Monday night, the team hastily removed free “Year of the Monkey” T-shirts for fans from arena seats after complaints that the giveaway was racially insensitive on the first night of Black History Month. The Lunar New Year, an Asian festival that will start on Monday in the United States, is the highlight of the Chinese calendar. Each year is based on a symbol of the Chinese horoscope, and this is the Year of the Monkey, the ninth of 12 animals in the cycle. But the team’s effort to celebrate seemed misplaced to some at the start of the annual celebration of African-American heritage. Images of workers removing the shirts from seats at the Sleep Train arena, where the Kings were playing the Milwaukee Bucks, were published on social media.[...] “We all need a lesson in sensitivity,” the Kings’ president, Chris Granger, told The Sacramento Bee.

Apparently a very, very sensitive Kings star objected to the shirts.
