Symonds was subjected to 'monkey' chats simply because of the way he applies thick, white sunblock around his lips, making it appear like the puckered face of a monkey. This was not in the least, a racist-motivated chant.
That said, Indians are usually the most stubborn backstabbing hypocrites, so I don't know how well the crowds will behave. Of course, I'm Indian too.

I agree 100%, even in our friend circle if some one cuts hair in different style or removes mustache we call it monkey. It can not be defined as raciest comment. If some one taunts them as kangaroo then it can be termed some sort of racism.
