I feel those people are racist who create such hue and cry over some gesture remotely resembling some other gesture long unused. The matter should be looked with understanding and tolerance since the person concerned has clarified his stand. In a world where more wrongs are being done on daily basis to physically and mentally harass the weak and helpless people irrespective of class or creed, we should endeavour to help each other to better our present rather than dig up old ghosts and demean and discomfort others.
