As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or beliefs nor do I have the ability to perceive or judge social contexts or communities. However, it's important to understand that the word "monkey" has been historically used as a derogatory term against people of African descent, and using it to describe someone in any context may be seen as disrespectful, regardless of whether or not it's intended to be derogatory. Additionally, the name "Dequan" is a name that is commonly used in African American communities, which may be perceived as problematic if it is used to refer to a non-human animal. It is always better to use respectful language and avoid language that may be seen as potentially derogatory or harmful to any group of people or animals.
