It’s the same PRA, anyone can be racist and it’s a taught behavior.
Actually, there is pretty darned close to no context in which a white person describing an African-American person as an "ape" is not racist. If such a context exists, I am unaware of it. Certainly what you describe is not such a context.

People generalize & stereotype quite a bit but it doesn’t mean they hate that race, those are different from racism. People can see it racism but it doesn’t mean it is depending on how a person uses it. And why does it have to matter if that person is white? Anyone can be racist

And I’m not saying what she said is right, it is wrong to make fun of people. But if she has friends of other races, which I’m sure she does, and said it about a few people that she doesn’t seem to like that seems like a personal problem then a racist problem.

I'm sorry, but you seem to be going into contortions to deny the racism in Roseanne's Tweet. If there's one thing that age has taught me, it's that the racist rejoinder of "Some of my best friends are..." is a true statement of blindness to one's own bigotry.
