Is this racism
by mohammed baseer ahmed on Oct 20, 2007 05:38 PM

I do not know if this is racism. By terming the monkey gestures at symonds by mumbai spectators as racial abuse, are they Those who are complaining) trying to tell us that he belongs to the Monkey race. Hey guys this is not racism. this is misbehaviour. Nevertheless this has to be condemned and discouraged. but surely we never knew that he is the only black in all whites team. Only after this episode did i knew he is a black. why would Indians make a racist comment on a dark skin. There are plenty of dark skinned people in India. and every thing is going in harmony. Never did any spectator comment on his race. It was only because he had made co many pre-match and post-match comments at Indian team that the spectator gave it to him. This behavior is very very unIndianish. It is more of they tasting their own medicine. But definitely not racism. We Indians condemn racism of all kinds and forms at all levels.
