But

In the "old days" 15-20 years ago, I would encourage the jews and muslims to talk among-est themselves at the poker tournaments. :D It was a lot of fun. Only racism I noticed was from asians. I think it depends where you are though. I'm a white minority where I play.

There is no racism as such, as your opponent doesn't know what Ethnicity you are.
All they know is that you registered from a specific country.
Almost all countries are multi-ethnic.

There are people that play online that deliberately try to tilt people. I just ignore it.
You can disable chat on most sites.

Racism in online poker??? Are you serious??? Everybody is behind a username... of course some 'very clever people', use even that for making a bit satisfaction for their psycho mind, ideology, point of view etc. - instead of register with a NAME, not some psycho op. words...

Otherwise, like most of those, who come with the racism, have problem with their own self. They believed the meaningless crap, what they bomb everybody by media, internet, ads, celebs, politics etc.

Basically, the question was about that who has a lot of money, must be a racist - perhaps there is a very fact based explanation come with that... (at least, I 'learnt' something new, the racism - totally meaningless word anyway, they use it all the time, when they don't like you, what you do, say etc., and no other option left for 'critical thinking, behaving -, is based on your pocket size, not any radical ideology, difference... I love this brave new world, full with very clever individuals, whose more like a speaker on human neck instead of a thinking, living being...) So all the professional sport players, bankers, celebs, whatever else have a bit more money are racist, based on the starting point.

It is not racism, total silly idea trying to bring it to the online poker, it calls capitalism, the money speaks, especially in poker, not your nationality, religion, skin color, whatever else they try to divide the mass and generate radical hordes instead of humans...

The individual, who opened this topic, has some serious problem mentally, with education and generally with common sense...

I'm really curious, how old is the clever one, who reached the point, she/he has to open a topic like this... probably most of us guess well.... brainwash....:confused::idea:

You are entitled to your opinion, but please refrain from insulting members.

So I stand corrected. Last night in a Sports Betting freeroll, there was someone spouting off a bunch of racist stuff, occasionally spamming "TRUMP" in the chat. They seemed limited in their vocabulary, and didn't really engage in any back-and-forth conversation beyond homophobic/racist insults.

Sad, isn't it? Racism comes in many forms and this is just another example of it.

I don't think there is racism in poker. In my opinion, anyone who plays poker is either good or bad.

There is never any comment from the poker site when they put it in the chat box. And when they ** the words it is is not punished

Yeah it was pretty lame to be quite honest. I'm sure there are a fair amount of folks who play the game who are racist, but I haven't seen it so brazenly expressed in a poker client. Plenty of other places on the internet, sure. I guess I really ought not be surprised, anonymity makes it easier for them to be that way given they aren't held accountable for their actions.

The racism is everywhere, worldwide. The law can stop it, even break it down, but can't put an end on it. Only the worms will finish it, beneath the ground.

I think there is no racism in poker, there are people who do not know how to lose and throw mud at everyone around

I believe so, I think that in relation to the female audience there are people who think that POKER was made for men

With the advancement of technology, it could be seen that racism advanced as well as everything that we lost on the web because it will be the easiest way to express ourselves but also to criticize and insult




Those insults can also be translated as racism for the simple reason of winning the opponent a hand or removing him from the tournament

Adi8877 I believe that the issue of racism is not in debate here, just one question, if there is racism in poker, of course we all have something based on our culture, I am Brazilian and we are a very prejudiced and racist country, but we also suffer prejudice from our own pairs. Let's just do good and have fun with this wonderful game, right?

What does poker or nationality have to do with it? It all depends on the personal beliefs of each person. But not everyone understands what his beliefs are based on. And this is a diagnosis.
Do not inflate this topic, it is about nothing.

Hi! yes it's racism in online games, I play on the phone and from my colleagues at the table one wakes up to comment about my nationality, by the way I'm Romanian and I'm proud of it, it's sad that I'm also racist everywhere in the EU, because a Black may be smarter than white, or conversely, there is no equality for some people
