Racism - the new paradigm

Indian protesters in Australia have been complaining against the 3 match ban given to Harbajan Singh for calling Andrew Symonds, a British born Australian player, a monkey.

Now, aside from the issue of racist slur between one coloured man and another, which I suppose must go on all the time, this seems to be the first time there have been demonstrations, not against racism, but against someone being punished for it. What are the implications of this?

It seems to take the problem to a whole new level.
