There is a big difference between Sen george calling Siddharth a monkey and you or me calling Siddharth a monkey. Similar logic applies to the N word. The racism of the white man over centuries cannot be diluted out by equating it with any behaviour of a non-white player towards another non-white player. Even if Symonds does not agree. The whole virulence and hatred that goes with a White-man's chant of the word Monkey and that of Harbhajan's is simply not comparable EVEN if he used that word.
