Outrage….. What outrage???

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-02/top-stories/30105376_1_donkey-jibe-indian-players-nasser-hussain

Several ex Indian (and 2 ex-Pakistan) players calling for Nasser to be sacked following comments about Indians “donkey" fielders during the test matches…. Are these guys for real?!!

Apparently this has also been discussed at the parliament in India and the BCCI will launch a full enquiry into his comments. Too much time on their hands. Get over it!!

It seems that calling a black guy 'a monkey' is OK , 'cause that, supposedly, isn't particularly insulting in Indian culture, but calling an Indian a 'donkey', which is not particularly insulting in British culture is, apparently, an outrage.

I think it's an outrage, it's completely unfair to donkeys.

Blowers spent all his time on TMS calling Ashley Giles a 'Wheely bin', Giles saw the funny side.

to be fair neon, the media only responds to the demands of its viewers... I think its been well and truely blown out of proportion by the ex-players and BCCI itself....

Its a prime example of 'small country' mentality. India is becoming an economic superpower and are World Champions, but they still can't drop the old mentality of always thinking they're victims. Had the comment been made about an Australian or SA side, it would pass without much comment at all. In India, politicians use it to deflect from the corruption crisis.
