Is chess racist?

All this butt hurt talk about white moving first in a board game is sad.

You're all desperate to argue race. Jeeezus.

"Back in the day", players all wanted the black pieces. The player with white was compensated with going first.

you people are LAME

Did chess originate in China?
Naaaa.... Persia or India. Most likely.

In Persian culture white is a bride’s colour; purity.
In Hindu culture white is purity, cleanliness and knowledge.

So, my guess is as good as any. And your opinion that white being virtue is Western centric is completely wrong. In most cultures it represents roughly the same. And again, it has nothing to do with pink people.

Even in Chinese culture it represents purity and completion. Hence it’s worn at the end of a life’s cycle.

Stop coming here and projecting your bias gibberish.

I’ve never heard of it originating in China.

And, generally, universally, white does have the same properties. Naturally there will be some cultures who differ, there always are, but generally.
Yes. Even in China.

Your mistake, which you can’t concede, is that white being pure has nothig to do with white people. White people not actually being white (well, most aren’t).

How could I not appreciate that? 😉

Men sit at a table.
Their legs are weak but their minds are strong.
Their mouths are full but their words are empty.
Crows protect their nests.
