I just had a really bad experience with a racist person

I don't know if this is allowed here. But, I just had a really bad time dealing with a racist person. And I wanted someone to hear it.

I randomly joined a 5+3 game and won it. I got a rematch offer from the same player. I accepted it and again won it. They then gave me a rematch offer on another time control. This went on for a while and I ended up beating them 5 games in a row.

That's when the messages started. He started calling me a cheater. I would have tolerated that too. But, then he passed inappropriate comments about my mother. I should have blocked and reported them and should have gone on to do something else. But, this was my first time being called a cheater, and it outraged me. Because after a lot of practice and determination I finally saw an improvement in my ratings. So, I was trying to convince him that I was not a cheater.

But that's not it. He started saying that all Indians/black people were cheaters - "i know you are indian. even you are indian or black people. you dont need to cheat". Also "only woman cheates", "are you a real man?" are some of his other thoughts about people.

Here's some more of his comments:
"BLM is shyt"
"good black people dont suport blm"
"black people are more likely to be criminal"

I know I should have just ignored him and went on about my day. But this was my first time facing racism as well as being called a cheater. So I got a bit outraged and continued the chat. But, at the end I went ahead and reported him.

Anyway, that's the end of the rant.
When you hover over the messages of that player, a “report” symbol shows up. Click on that symbol and file a report. Lichess mods will then deal with that account. This way you can contribute to make the site a better place for everyone. Racist comments should not be tolerated at all here.
Ignore him,report him. Some people say ''All Muslims are Arabs'' However i am Muslim but not an Arab.
Haters gonna hate, just report him with screenshots.Lichess will ban him if you have enough proof.
