This is because monkeys in Mesoamerica spread cacao seeds. Indigenous cultures often drew images of monkeys holding cacao pods as they knew that they relied on the monkeys for this luxury.
  
  
  
  However, the European representation of monkeys is to make fun of colonizers/Europeans who drink chocolate, equating them to monkeys, a theme that has racist undertones towards Native Americans.
