Yes, there have been many Afro origin black skin cricketers visiting India , not only from West Indies but also from South Africa, England, Zimbabwe, Kenya etc and this is the only occasion I’ve heard of any racial taunt.

Taunts to Symonds is a reaction to his dress up and also to the natural arrogance he displays (also seen with South Africans last summer) and to the ugly side of Aussie cricket he naturally inherited, sledging. Other teams are not far behind, especially playing against Australia but the whole episode arose from the fact that Aussies surpass even their own standards of on field antiques at the Sydney test and yet were silly enough to report the opposition to the match referee. That’s all from me.
