Racism is something we don't want in chess.com
Sort:
Some users keep making racist comments and are very disrespectful. in most of the cases they are idiots. Here's this person who kept calling me Paki, Paki boy etc etc whereas I am an Indian. He was being an idiot at his best, but still, this is something that we don't expect to happen. Fortunately, I have recorded my screen as a proof of his misconduct.
You should report that to Chess.com via Help --> Report Abuse as well, so they can talk to the other person about why their behaviour is unacceptable here and, if necessary, take stronger action.

The player calling you the name that you consider offensive was trying to upset you and take you out of your game. Apparently he succeeded. Ignore idiots.

its not a reflection of you but of his ignorance, you should educate him and then mock him.

Why should calling you a Pakistani be racist? If someone called me a Canuck, I wouldn't be upset. Canadians have better beer and maple syrup.
because its in the tone

If a Canuck talked to me in a Canadian tone/accent, I wouldn't have a problem. Heck, they can call me "hoser" for all I care. Let's get back to the hockey game, eh?
tone is not a reference to the accent but the intent 
Another victim of modern media culture, finding insult and outrage on a daily basis.
It' terrible that race is discussed on chess.com. Only politically correct comments are allowed. Chess.com does not have free speech. And this is no place to be discussing race anyway.

you should have disabled chat on that game: go to the top right corner of the chat tab and click on disable chat. 
i see most people saying "ignore that guy" are either americans or europeans. well guys, its easier said than done. no one likes it when your put down for being indian or whatever your proud being of.
I’m atheist and I’m proud
I’m an Ugly American. I mean, just look at me!
XD
I'm a theist and humble
Maybe it's the American in me talking (I don't believe it is, but I'll entertain the possibility), but I don't respect racist people, and I can't bring myself to care about the opinions of people I don't respect. If you can't tune out the unpleasant things people say to or about you (and those you do care about), then you're simply going to go through life focused on all the people and things which make you angry - which will make you an angry person.
Learning to tune folks out is an invaluable skill - not just in chess, but in life more generally. No one has the right to control the things other people say - however much it annoys or offends us, and however much it is intended to do so. The only thing you have control of is you, so be a person you would respect, and be content with that.

Not me! Your response should be fair and measured. For a first offense,I recommend that you stab him in the eye with a fork. That should get his attention.

I don't know about that... it would be pretty fun to see more racism on chess.com.
