Sledging Versus Racism

[Cricket_god]

I think the cultural differences are a major point for the controversies we see
In india as there are family values if somebody uses abusive language for
your dear ones its not bearable,so if anybody calls your family names
and then complains you called him monkey,which in india is used mainly to
address some one naughty.how does it mount to racism?

if harbhajan is banned so should anybody who involves in sledging

Do you not get it yet? Calling a person of African decent a monkey is an extremely racist word. It would be just like me calling you something racist which wouldnt be considered racist in another part of the world.

I think its time to be open minded...:

We have a thread on what constitutes racism and what doesn't.
