Racial Discrimination By Poker Sites

[WSOPChump]

Do any of you know if there has been a comprehensive study on the distribution of bad beats among different races? This would be an interesting topic for anyone at a major university.
Annecdotely, it seem that I receive alot of bad beats and im black. I know a few Oriental people,not many, and they also seem to receive alot of bad beats. It also seems that among the white people i know they receive fewer bad beats.
Anyone think this is an interesting topic for research?

Specifically, Vietnamese. There has been an extensive study about this, i'll get back to you with a link.

As i stated i dont know many orientals personally.
Of the ones Ive talked to, they suffered, a high number of bad beats in big pots.
You also have to consider the large number of Asians on the planet and also the high number of Asians in poker games and other casino games.
Of course i never attended a major university so its harder for me to come up with a comprehensive testing model.

Funny "racist" story from Taj:

Sitting 20/40 at like 11am with a bunch of miserable old dudes who had been there all night and i overhear the following conversation between my dad and a big huge fat old white guy:

Dad: "yeah yesterday I saw this funny hand, capped preflop 3 ways. On the flop was an ace and a king. checked on the flop, one guy bet on the turn and one guy calls. Now the 2 guys on the river all of a sudden start raising like crazy!"

BHFOWG: "oh wow"

Dad: "yeah they went 6 or 7 bets, pocket aces versus pocket kings"

BHFOWG: "Asian?"

Dad: "What?"

Maybe we should talk to Jesse Jackson about this. We can get him to go to Costa Rica and organize a sit-down protest.

If we're lucky he wont come back.

It seems every black poker player I have seen on TV apart from Phil Ivey pisses me off.
