I got cyberbullied on this website. They insulted about my race, religion and country, they linked these factors to my chess performance. -which is terrible-

One of them was 12 years old, if I had reported him I would be regretful because he's a child :p Can you be more polite to other people please?

chess.com members aren't exactly the most progressively minded people in the world.

Block'em away.

That's not racism. Maybe patzerism?

Have you ever seen a horse try to use a monocle?

I think the Turkish phase loses something in the English translation, just as the English term 'racism' seems to have lost something in the Turkish translation.

Would a monacle be glasses or just glass?

No, that's definitely at least partly racism.

Sorry you've had that experience. It seems to me racism is growing worldwide. I know it has become really bad in the United States since we elected our first nonwhite president.

Be sure to report racist comments.

Racism is not acceptable - you must report this to the mods

Yeah, you know racism as at a historical high when you elect your first non-white president... lol

The primitive tribalist mindset has likely stayed fairly constant over the last few thousand years. But if anything, it's likely slightly less now than it has ever been due to widespread education and globalization.

Possibly neither. I tried to drink from one and my success could be very optimistically described as 'limited'.

I've always been a "the monocle is half full" kinda guy.

Wait, you said someone  put down your chess performance?  So what? It's either valid or invalid criticism of your game. 

I see no evidence that racism is at play. Please explain.

Maybe weak and strong chess-players are/should be considered separate races?

Well, they are no more or less races than let's say U.S. or Turkish citizens.

I wouldn't say it's at a historical high, but Obama's election to the Oval Office did bring a lot of the racist shitbags out of the woodwork. And many who weren't quite hidden in the woodwork became a lot more brazen about their racism. I use to have this neighbor who flew a Confederate flag in his yeard. Of course he'd always use the "it's heritage, not hate" line. Then when Obama was sworn in to office my neighbor took down that Confederate flag....and replaced it with this: http://www.collectorsmilitaria.com/img/112611kmflag1/IMG_3644sm.jpg

But maybe that was just "heritage, not hate" too.

That's why you should drink straight from the bottle.
