There was a report on Sports in Australia named "What is the count?" which says that racist abuse and sledging is the biggest barrier in Australian sports which prevents immigrants and people of other origin to take up sports seriously. The report also indicates the australian teams (not just Cricket) is not a good representation of the entire australian population. So next time this kangaro's talk about racism get them a copy of the Report.

Yes, I agree, there cannot be any unruly justification for racial abuse against Players in and out of the field. Before talking about any reports lets first remove the dirt from our own collars and adept ourselves in the game of Cricket

While what you say may be true, it cannot be seen as a justification for the racist taunts that took place on Indian grounds. Is it an acceptable justification that "We are racists because they (Australians) are racists too".
Lets stop, think amd make decisions for ourselves on what is good and what is bad and stop following others.

Please keep your filthy racist ideas home before discussing sport. For your information its is not India that is the biggest victim of sledging but England, for they face the worst time in Australia. Also sledging is not about racism.
Why get all your pent up anger and frustration about whites and other races to the cricket field? Oh, by the way, the person who was subjected to the racist taunts - Symonds is not white guy, so why was he taunted?
