Prahlad Friedman has announced on Twitter a plan to give free poker advice to aspiring poker players- but only if you are from certain racial groups:

If the problem is systemic, shouldn't he be offering to buy non-whites/asians into the tournaments, not offering to coach them?

That’s a racist philosophy of his. Regarding his Twitter, everyone should practice avoidance.

Dude was a beast at one time. Always played the top players. Had no fear.

I just looked for the pragressive collective video and it appears (to me at least) to have been scoured from the interwebs.

Thank goodness Phil Ivey now has a chance to get some much needed coaching.

Oh, the rapping one has updated.

"Tired of seeing only males at these final tables. Obviously systemic sexism is responsible for this, cause everyone likes poker. To fight back just a little bit, I’m willing to give free advice to any non male out there! Hit me up if you have chips and boobs and I’ll follow you".

Guy has lost his marbles. What is funny is that the hardcore people who believe like him most likely hate him because he is culturally appropriating black culture through his rap career.

Good point by Prahlad. Very few successful non-white, non-asian tourney players out there. Only 2 I could think of were Negreanu and Ivey.

Are Asians considered a privileged class now? Seems like they face a lot of discrimination in higher education and apparently from people like Prahlad.
