It has been seen over time that it is the White population that defines what should be termed as a racist remark and what shouldn't. It is convenient to ban Harbhanjan for calling Symmonds a monkey (of which there is no evidence) but it is fine for McGrath and Lehmann to call Jayasurya a " Black Monkey ". I have nothing agianst being called a monkey, infact monkeys and all humans share common ancestory, what I would have a problem agianst is someone branding me a turbanator - which is mocking my culture (I acutally have nothing against being called anything). But i think it is ridiculous to be called a curry... Is that a racist term?? Is being called a jackass a racist term???? What I do know, is that claiming a catch which you haven't caught (especially when you know you haven;t caught it) is unsprotsman like and accd to ICC's code of conduct for cricketers, it should be a ban served up for those two cricketers - Ponting and Clarke.. anything short of a 5 match ban is racism by the match refree..
