Yes you can. I have the same feelings regarding Americans so now I don't have to play them. Unfortunately their posts still show up but I'm working on that.

Here's a better idea.  Have chess.com just swap the flags to display your opponent as being from the same country as yours. Presto! Problem solved.  You can be beaten by your own countrymen.

Fork over several thousand rupees to pay for the customized app.

I feel the same way about Americans.

The world recognizes the Yuan as the dominant currency for trade.  The USD is treated similarly to the imperial units.

I see this was meant to be a joke, but it bothers me when people respond to bigotry with more bigotry. You see it on youtube comments all the time too. This person does not represent Americans.

When you're in that screen, there is a tiny line of text at the bottom that encourages you saying "click here". Do it. If another message appears asking if you are sure, don't back up. Of course you're sure.

You are right. In general I do not but I was so dumbfounded by the post that I came up with irony.

Seems bigotry is the natural state of the human condition.  It's not to be excused, but its also not something anyone can say they are not guilty of, at least not secretly. The protective annomity of the internet seems to bring it to the forefront.  It seems about the only thing you can do to effectively fight it is to make a joke about it or paint the guilty as horribly stupud. It's a no win situation for everybody.
