Why is chimped out a bad term? I see it used a lot tbh

I could be wrong but I've only ever heard it used to refer to black people (not all poc's) acting violent or loudly.

Wikipedia agrees with me.

Like how they imagine a chimpanzee would act, I assume.

Im not expecting great depth of thought from people using this phrase knowing it's origin.
