Ok, so here is my question....you get contacted via email. You respond with the thank you for your interest, but I do not think we are a good match. (whether it's age, or you are not attracted to them physically, interests are different, etc) then you get an email back saying you are racist. Anyone else had this happen? How do you respond to that?

I've never done online dating, but I'd recommend just ignoring this person and not responding to the email in any way.

It sounds like dating sites have trolls and you encountered one of them.

No but had a guy tell me I must hate white guys because I rejected him and because I mentioned I would date men of other races. I rejected him because he had a bunch of baby mamas.

If I'm not interested I simply don't reply. It usually works out better that way. If I am interested, I'll message you or reply. If not, move on. I don't see a point of messaging them with "sry nothx. next?" If anything that'd just be taken as insulting. I think silence is your best letdown.

Never experienced that, but I have had a couple of guys to fly completely off the handle an call me a b*tch. They also continued to harass me online. I blocked those guys and contacted the site administrator. They were banned from the site.

That being said, I would recommend blocking people who respond to you that way...no need to respond to them. If they continue to contact you or harass you, contact the site admin.

I don't respond to guys I'm not interested in as a general rule. The few times I have politely declined, I've almost inevitably gotten a nasty email back - which amusingly confirms the correctness of my decision to decline their advances.

An insecure and angry idiot is going to lash out any way he can, as a general rule. You were a racist to this guy, but to the next guy you might be a snob or a golddigger or a liberal/conservative patsy, or an ice princess, etc.

There are some AWESOME guys online, but let's face it: A good percentage of people who are single and desirable are going to go online as a dating option, but ALL the undesirable people are going to end up online because it's basically their default option.

I've never been called "racist", but I have gotten "Oh, you must not like white guys." I just don't respond because the truth (Actually, yes I do like white guys but I'm just not into you) would probably be harder for them to take.
