Racist usernames

Lichess stepped up to say something about Black Lives Matter. Great! Why do I (we) have to encounter usernames like "White_Power_5". I refused to play that person and reported it. But s/he continues the insult today. Is the Lichess moderator going to shut this guy down -- or not?
Thanks...

White power isnt necessarily racist. White can mean a lot in different contexts.

First, I would not get too hung up on the name given as an example by @Walter1942 . I am confident that it is not the only instance of a racist username on Lichess. Getting hung up on one name is missing the point entirely.

Second, I am not a person of colour (so, you know, big proviso there), but if I try and put myself in their shoes I imagine that regardless of that user's personal reasons for having that name, it would make me feel unwelcome on the platform. Allowing names like that sends a message that this is a place where racism will be tolerated -- something that Lichess have rightly stated they do not want to do (see the statement referred to by @Walter1942: lichess.org/blog/Xtz5iBAAACMASQAf/black-lives-matter).

@Walter1942
Even more, chess is a racist game, white always go first. How to solve this racism? May be it is nessesary to ban chess or change the rules? For example, first move will be randomized, it can be black or it can be white.

@ConvertToRGB #4 Then why are you even playing chess?

@Donaldsen
I always play for black to fight against racism in chess.

@ConvertToRGB "I always play for black to fight against racism in chess", what a joke, this game you played 6 mins ago was with the white side lichess.org/o2ryhvNf

@pn2206 r/woooosh

If I have choosed blackamour_head this is racism?

Check the name exactly - there is no typo!
