MELBOURNE, December 28: Despite Cricket Australia's (CA) repeated warnings, racism has reared its ugly head at the ongoing Boxing Day Test here with Indian supporters complaining of "offensive and ugly" chants being hurled at them by local supporters.

A 'Herald Sun' report said Australian supporters shouted "Show us your visas, show us your visas" at the Indian fans, interviewed by their reporters. The visiting fans described the chant as "offensive, ugly and racist".

Even some Australian fans found the chants racist. "That is racist," a home supporter Heath Robbins was quoted as saying.

"It is attacking a person's country and they should be kicked out of the ground as they should for any offensive behaviour to any other people," he said.

"Everyone feels offended when they are attacked on the basis of their residency or where we came from," an Indian supporter, who did not wish to be named, was quoted as saying.
