Imagine the game if black were to make the first move....
There would be more opening theory........or maybe not, because the king is just on the left side with the same positions on the board...🤔
Systemic Racism in Chess: White moves first.
Sort:
It would still be racist however, because then a thread would be created saying how chess is so racist because Black is always moving first.

Shogi game (actually is japanese chess) has no colored pieces, all pieces are white, weird haha
I see now. So since they are colorless, they are not racist. But as soon as you color the pieces, say, pink and purple and blue and red and all sorts of pretty colors, then boy oh boy!!! Then it's racist. Is that correct?
I also agree with Counterproductiveham, where I believe that eons ago "White" was originally "Red."
Just kidding though haha

exactly - why not switch each time - thats some long long long ongoing BS
If the two colours did hypothetically represent race, it could mean that being white is a privilege and therefore has the advantage of going first, but it could also be interpreted as there was no fight taking place until the whites instigated it. If you wished to fuel the 'chess is racist' debate for whatever reason, you could use the link between 'blitz' & 'blitzkrieg' as well as the fact that 4 horses on the central squares are able to draw a swastika as an argument which would lead to opening yourself to well deserved brutal mockery.
Racist? What is a racist? Is that a person that drives fast cars? In, a race?

It is a person who discriminates against others based on the type of racing they enjoy. I have no time for Nascar fans for example.
Oh!!! I see, so, if you like NHRA, and HATE NASCAR, then, oooh hunnie, are you a racist? But then again, what if you HATE NHRA and LOVE NASCAR!!! Then by golly gee sweetie you're still a dog ram racist!!! Am I right on this?

hmmm my Full-orc bard digresses
DOUBLE POST!! And an effort to hijack this thread. If I was playing monopoly, and I had hotels, which are red, and my opponent bought some houses for one of his monopolies, which are green, is that racist?
Yes, obviously
