Drama created by the racist (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theatrics

'drama' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'created by the racist' is the wordplay.
'created' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'creating' mean this).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the' after 'racist' is 'racistthe'.
'racistthe' is an anagram of 'THEATRICS'.

(Other definitions for theatrics that I've seen before include "dramatic outburst" , "Histrionics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
