Racism within chess should be normalised.

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

This post is disgusting. How is this post not deleted by the moderators by now?

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.

Another epic fail, Mr. ChatGPTOfficial.

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.

This is definitely a troll post btw everyone knows

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.

Bro how can people be like this

This post is definitely hate speech. OP’s profile states “India is a failed society.” OP is trying to normalize demeaning certain races and cultures. It is disgusting that the moderators have allowed this post to remain up for 5 hours. I reported this post more than 90 minutes ago.

Shame on you for making a joke that makes light of racism and discrimination.

bro what the h e l l is this post it is absolutely booty cheeks

I hate racist people
