It always amazed me how you hate someone who has done nothing to you...a actual experience at least allow some foundation to base your decision ...but to have no interaction or contact with someone and to just hate for no reason to me is a deep rooted evil and typically something so embedded can not be explained or corrected, however if mankind bands together against anything there is nothing it can't achieve for the good. Understand conquer and divide is a tactic used by a small mass of minds.

There is no place for racism in poker and also not here in this forum.
Poker is a game of mind and intellect. I am very sure, that an intellectual player will be not a racist. I just don't fit. The rest is just thinking, that they are good at this.

There are players online who will throw out N****r when they don't like how you play. I've seen this several times. It is totally unacceptable. I have tried reporting it before. I'm not sure if anything was done. But it is disgusting.

When you are playing online and have no information on your opponent except his nickname, stack size and country of registration you can use all of this to make some general assumptions.
When you see a guy from Belarus/Poland with 240bb chances are that they are solid regulars.
On the contrary, when you see someone from Australia (for example) with 75 bb with no auto top up...Most likely he is a recreational player.
Moreover, players, in general, are trying to copy playstyles of the strongest ones of their own who stream on twitch or whatever.
So, yeah, it's fine to make some assumptions even by having a look at the opponents' country.

I once played at a table with players from different countries and at my table there was a conversational conflict between players, each other called bad words and insulted that he was from another country where all the bad people but later he calmed down and continued to play, for me there is no racism to other players from different countries, for me all players are worthy rivals in the game where I need to try to win and not insult each other

Agreed some assumptions can be made with regards to style, a scale from Donkey to Pro can be used to Box/label a players style but some assumptions sound just too much like "YOU PEOPLE!" lol

I think that people who make racist remarks do it to get a reaction or push your buttons, if I don't react then I have ruined it for them and they realize that it won't work on me and it is no longer effective.
I also think some people are way too sensitive and take things the wrong way.
Last but not least, people will treat you however you allow them to, they will "push your buttons" regularly, it doesn't bother me, I just say "Bless your heart" and laugh in their face. Stand up for yourself, call them out, don't allow it !

On the begining of my adventure with online poker ive seen a lot of hate and racism talking when someone lose. I dont see the point to do that kind of thing. On tournaments i have always chat off and im having good fun with playing not talking

Racisism is a no go, and should be stopped!
I personally think that not only racisism should be punnished but also all kind of harsh language at the tables!
almost everyday you see people writing stuff that is hurtful, and it should be the responsibility of the gamerooms to take care of this, by either dissable theire chat function or even get a short time out so they can have some time to review theire own behavior!

I have never seen racism at a poker table. People are treated and evaluated by their play. Yes, people are ignorant and don't realize that your British passport means you're from Britain. That's an intelligence problem, not a racial offense. I have never seen anyone denied wearing a burka and maybe your the last to get your bar order taken because you are a lousy tipper or you like to pinch the server's ass every time she comes by. The point is, there are probably legitimate, none race-related reasons for these things.

Poker is a border free game. I have never seen racial slurs in poker chat but I have seen the typical raging person calling another a {insert preferential derogatory term}.
This said, it is only typical that it exist. We live in a society with borders, we all like to think we are the best or that the team we are rooting for is the best.
Of course this doesn't excuse acting like an ignorant *****.

Racism is the stuff of backward people and poor of Spirit. We are just cards in the hands of the creator, as the cards are diverse, and the suits are different, in humans we can not be the same and we never have to be of the same race.

I think it's possible that the people is racist in differnt things, but in poker, I have not had a situation of racism. The best option to eliminate this kind of situation is try to talk with the people with patienty, because people talking it's understand.
