I think the US is just more PC ("politically correct")now days, or wanting to seem that way..culturally... than maybe Australia...generally. This all has more to do with that.

but still..on this...

“I am an Indian, and five of the six of us are from multicultural backgrounds and to be called a racist ... I don’t think I have ever been called that ever in my life before,” he said.

“Anyone who knows us as a group, we are intelligent people, we are all from different racial backgrounds so I am really truly surprised,” Deva said.

anyone can be a racist or a bigot or a sexist..we all are to some extant, I'm sure

So as long as there isn't any slurs or acts of violence like lynching it's not racist?

no..thats not it..clearly ,any attempts to devalue a race by actions or violence is what im talking about..Devaluation was not i anyway shape or form in this case..it was in light hearted humour and was nothing of teh sort.Slurring and violence are common..

For one action and violence...I recall Kojak the tv series which was an action was classified at one stage as being one of the most violent shows around.
