The OP did, in fact, stop thinking about it.

That monkey is also staple Polish meme, representing typical Polish boomer and his family, the spiecies is called “nosacz sundajski” in Polish, i can’t guarantee your sanity after searching though since those memes range from pretty funny to absolutely disgusting.

When the Dutch colonized/invaded Indonesia they started referring to these monkeys as ‘orang belanda’ or ‘monyet belanda’ (Dutchman/monkey). Because of our relative big noses. So I guess they were already onto something back then.
