Chess is racist

Since everything is now racist, it logically follow that chess is also.  Oh, I forgot, logic is racist too.

                                      Look at the threads......their a mess.   No-one's looking at the threads.                                                  Dr Rick & Chess.com can stop you from becoming your parents.

Applying Critical Race Theory, it's a no win. If you now say Black goes first, that means you consider black to be inferior, which is also racist. The only way to win is not to be drawn into such manipulations and sophistry in the first place.

If it was truly racist, all black pieces would have to sit in the back of the board.

But no, they are allowed to occupy any square a white square can occupy too.
As long as they don't have to sit on the same square at the same time.

I think everybody who brings up the topic of racism is at that point being racist. Since you're bringing up the differences between races as an issue.

We have to just move on and let it be.

When I was a kid, I had a cheap plastic set that was made of green and purple pieces.

There, we've solved all the real, serious problems of today.

Ah, yes! I understand now. The solution to humanity's problems has been in front of us the whole time. Variegated plastics!

Seems to me if people are interested in knowing if something is racist, they usually look at how well racial groups are represented at the highest levels.

 

Top 100 players in the world, are half women..if not then sexist.

Top 100 chess players in the US, are at least  13 percent black?  If not, then racist.

Chess if feminist. The queen is the most powerful piece.

Funny @OranegJuice....

But the if the king is trapped, it's all over.  Doesn't matter what the queen is doing.

Perhaps all the pieces should just have a party in the middle of the board rather than always being at war with one another.

Pink and purple would have been more woke
