It is sad, but I think the media (Australian media to be specific) and Symonds made it a big issue. It would have been better if it was ignored when it happened for the first time. I don't it is a racist comment.....I wonder how many people knew earlier that Symonds is the only Non-white member of Australian squad? To be frank, I was not aware of this, he was just another player in the Australian team, who often scores too(ooooooo) many runs, regardless of the opposition.
