I afraid what is branded as racism is only a monkey act by few spactators who find Symmonds with his hair style and make up looks like a Chimp. Racism is some thing different which is calling a black / brown by "names" and putting him down. Here Symmonds is not a white player, but in case if any white player is appeared like symmonds - with his hair style and make up - I am sure spactators response must have been same. It is really pity, even our media - mainly english - do not underdstand this and adding fuel to the entire episode. Next India is visiting Aussies and I am sure, this is not end of the story, but biginning and we are going to hear lot of on this account.

Exactly! Person from any race with matted hair, hangover face and white lipstick will be called a monkey, it has nothing to do with skin color or race.
