I guess parents were more preoccupied about the devil imagery than BJ references. Dont remember seeing this card as a kid back then, but it wouldve gotten lost on me.

Plus the ability itself on Uktabi Kong:

*blinks*

*googles card, stares at artwork for an embarrassing-long amount of time*

Oh...duh...the two smaller monkeys look like they're fucking. That one definitely flew over my head as a kid.

From the Gatherer (Wizards official card database where the image is removed) comments section:
Just an FYI, about the artist, Harold McNeill:
I met him in '95 at WotC's Artist's Caravan along with other Magic artists.
I expressed to him my enjoyment of his (I thought absurd) art for Invoke Prejudice. He lit up, and said I might be interested in some of his other art, then. He pulled out a couple artbooks filled with racist and Nazi-inspired art. Creeped out beyond belief, I sheepishly thanked him and got the hell away from that table as quick as I could.
There's a reason why he has done almost zero professional work for a long time.
His MySpace confirms he's a complete racist nutjob. I'd say "not that there's anything wrong with that", but this is the 21st century, and YEAH - THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT.

Funny thing is that the cards price skyrocketed after the ban

A friend of mine has a near mint copy that he doesn't know what to do with. It's useless and he doesn't really like having it but it's kind of hard to sell.

I actually just looked up the artist and he's still very active on social media.. and holy shit he makes Alex Jones look like a toddler when it comes to right wing crazy conspiracies. With clearly nazi inspired artwork, happy about the russian invasion.....just crazy all around.
