Firstly, I don't think Bhajji was racist. Even if he said monkey, I mean, c'mon, it is hardly racist. if he went on to say "You are a black money from the jungles of Australia", fine, but to say "Shut up you Monkey", c'mon!! Thats hardly anything in India!! Symonds should grow up and learn to take it as it is dished out.
But there are 3 reasons I feel Bhajji is innocent:
1) I understand calling Symonds a monkey. I mean, have you seen Symonds picture side by side with a Monkey? I mean, if anything, it's offensive to the monkey!! I think the monkey should be the one complaining, not Symonds.
2) Have you seen Bhajjis size compared to Symonds? I don't think Bhajji wants to get himself killed.
3) Bhajji is Indian. How can Indians be racist?? I mean, we are the butt of practically every racist joke in white culture (Along with the Blacks and Jews)!! And Symonds is a fellow brown man. Why would we be racist to another brown man like us!! Calling him a Monkey based on his colour, it would be like calling us all monkeys!!
All this is just blown out of proportion and is completely pathetic. And Bhajji has been banned. I've pretty much lost all respect for the match officials now.
