Default Re: Played Poker With A White Supremacist Last Night

It's a free country, and you are allowed to have ideas that are generally distasteful to most people. As long as he was not causing trouble, there's no reason why he should not be allowed to play. I'm wondering how he/she would have handled themselves if there were a number of mixed minorities in their game (you didn't specify the mix of players).

I have a stereotype for these types, but it probably wouldn't tell you much about how they play poker.

A few months ago there was a thread about someone having a card cap that was offensive to most people (don't remember what it was, may have been a swastica). I'd be interested to compare attitudes about a swastica symbol card cap and these two playing in the game. Theoretically, there should be no difference. I suspect reactions differed greatly tho (maybe even mine, I'd like someone to dig up that thread if possible).
