This is a typical perfunctory and condescending statement made by a white visitor to India!
White people despise colored people who they consider very inferior to them!
If this league would have been based in Australia and Indian players were visitors there, we would have heard about the horrible racist treatment given to Indian players!

An Indian now sits in the CEO's chair at Microsoft founded by Bill Gates ( a white)in a country of whites. Another Indian will be assuming CEO role at Nokia soon. Several Indian Americans and and Indian British now occupy key posts in their adopted countries of where the majority are white.
Sachin Tendulkar was adored by Sir Don Bradmann much before IPL came into existence. Similarly Kapil Dev, Richard Hadlee and Ian Botham held one another in high esteem long before IPL.
In the 18th century Sir William Jones, a british judge turned liguist who had mastered ancient sanskrit to perfection and helped to rediscover the lost glory of hindu heritage considered sanskrit far more gramattically refined and polished than greek or latin.
So there is racism every where. But that does not mean that every white man is a racist just as every very Indian is not casteist !
