I’m not exactly sure what you are saying. It seems like what you are getting at is more culture than skin color.

I mean... having prejudice against specific cultures could be considered xenophobia, but I don't think is the same thing as racism. Isn't?

Also I do get that chess is more prevalent in some specific cultures than in others. Like, Gukesh was raised in India with chess being and incredible popular game after Anand become basically a national hero, and the Indian government gave considerable financial incentives to chess athletes.

But how the heel xenophobia helps on anything here? xD

The distinction between black and white in chess is purely functional and symbolic, representing the two opposing forces in the game. This is not tied to race or ethnicity but is rather a long-standing design choice in the game.

I agree with u. It does sound like the op is confusing race with culture & those aren't the same. Although far too many confuse the two.

Racism isn't the right term, heck it's not even race, nice clickbait.

I instantly saw the title and assumed it was a troll, but if it's a genuine forum, then I just lost my respect for that person.

It is very racist that players sit on black chairs, but they don't sit on white chairs.
