So... "What do YOU PEOPLE think?" about Racism in Poker?
I mean have you felt discriminated against when Playing Poker either online or in live games?
I Know I have...
This Thread is for those who want to release a little tension by airing when they feel they were causally discriminated against while going to Poker Venues or maybe the way they've been treated online (Poker related).
Example: Live poker event wont let me wear my "burka" but every one has hoodies... I'm last to have my bar order taken, Every time "Whats that about?"...
For me one thing that annoys me is Every time I Need to show ID, My British Passport say's "Place of Birth Kitwe" and then the most dumbest question comes next "Are you British?" lol ummm its a British Passport so I'd guest Yes I am!!
Please don't let this thread turn into a mad crazy argument that only Trillian can save me from...

Daniel has some interesting things to say about Racism in Poker too... https://fullcontactpoker.com/how-racist-are-you/
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.
