So Indians calling people Monkey is racism now? <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> Such a looney statement says more about the racism that's growing live-and-well in Sagarika's mind than it does about Indians. I agree that in western countries of colonial times they liked to call us and Africans and others of the brown scale monkeys or gorillas or whatever. That was indeed racist, but monkey in the Indian (and as I will show further down, in Japanese) context does not have anything to do with the christoracist theories of "evolved/superior us vs unevolved/inferior them".

The fans knew this was how to get to the australians; eg give them a taste of their own medicine. At most, it is mimicry, certainly not racism.
