Chess is Racist

I was at working playing my black coworker and friend in chess. He then asked me, "who goes first?" I replied, "white always goes first." He stated, "that's racist lol." I then replied, "that is white privilege at its finest." I vote we end this discrimination at once. whos with me?????
My set is green and blue. Does this mean that planet Jupiter is better?
No, but it does mean that this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
weren't original/wooded chess pieces tan and brown, not black and white?
In Nine Men Morris White starts but the advantage is on Black‘s side. Maybe it turns out in the far future that the reaction power of Black in chess is an advantage, too?
If chess is a theoretical draw, true equality is achievable.
A win for SJWs.
@FixUrFace The belief that all the chess pieces on a chessboard possess characteristics or abilities based on the colour of the piece is non-sense. It's the ability to control more squares that gives a chess piece it's relative value on the chessboard.

The colour of the piece or the fact that a lighter coloured piece plays first has nothing to do with racism. That's you that started saying that by your subject title and your first post.

Why are you then asking to end a discrimination comment that you posted? Are you trying to mislead others?

Don't put false information that will generate negative feelings. Think positive.

The forum should be used to discuss general chess topics that are not about racialist beliefs.
