Raven Symone was a co-host on “The View” and made the comment that “Some people look like animals,” said Raven Symone.

Nearly a week following the dismissal of Univision host Rodner Figueroa for comparing Michelle Obama’s appearance to someone from the cast of the “Planet of the Apes,” the Emmy Award-winner’s comments were among a selection of hot topics on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

During the show’s segment, which featured Raven-Symoné as a guest host, co-host Rosie Perez said Figueroa’s comment exposed a secret in the Latin community that stems from Latinos’ reluctance to recognize that “African blood” is embedded within their ancestry.

“There is a secret in the Latin community, specifically the Caribbean, South American, Central American Latin community. They are very racist,” Perez said. “They never want to be in the same group as black people. And it’s very, very sad. And he did say Michelle Obama looked like a cast member of the ‘Planet of the Apes.’”

Raven’s comments start at 8:17 in the video above

“Some people look like animals. I look like a bird. So can I be mad if somebody calls me a Toucan Sam?”
