Is calling "Monkey" is racism?

There is a huge controversy going on in Cricket World,
Australian player Andrew Symonds complained Indian player Harbhajan Singh racially abused him by calling him monkey.

Is calling a monkey is a racism?
From my childhood, I have seen people calling each other monkey, donkey etc. But I never thought it is a racial abuse!!!
The sportsman spirit shown by Australian players is another issue.

I am curious to know how can, calling monkey be viewed as racism?
