Controversial Only humans are people?

#1
Can a Fishman be considered a person or that is human privilege only? What about Tenryuubitos then if they are supposedly not humans by their own definition? And all other intelligent races like giants, long arms, mermaids, minks, lunarians and so on.

And what about our world? Could we consider our "cousins" such as chimpanzee and other monkey like races as people? If so what about dolphins since they are claimed to be the second most intelligent animal right after us humans?
