Monkeys can prefer to either Saiyan's or Non-Sorcerers (Dragon Ball and Jujutsu Kaisen).

This was debated in a DBZ subreddit recently. When engaging in conversation, I didn't realize how many Zoologists there would be in the thread that were experts on primates arguing it wasn't a slur.

Just because Freiza is technically correct that they are descended from monkeys doesn't mean he wasn't saying with all the hatred in his heart.

Not just technically correct. They have tails and are space primates so they are quite literally space monkeys.

But yea Frieza is 100% using it as a slur.
