Is the game of Chess racist and sexist?

[Ame®icano]

The queen is the most powerful piece on the board. If you allow your queen to be captured, it's very difficult to win the game.

but if you lose your King it is game over.

The Queen is expendable.

And replaceable.

Any pawn could become a queen. Wait, are pawns transgenders?

Actually, pawns can't be assigned a gender until they cross into the King's row.

I wouldn't use word "actually" if my statement doesn't contradicts the original one.

One of my favorites is the Civil War chess set complete with Abe Lincoln and Confederate flag. Although I'm sure it's considered racist by todays standards. ...

What happens when confederate side wins?

The white side always moves first to start the game, which a distinct advantage.

And the Queen's main job is to protect the most valuable piece, the King.

Liberals and feminists are now upset with the racism and patriarchy they say is inherent in the over 1,000 year old game, and want the rules changed to align with today's PC culture.

This isn't satire, but a real debate within the chess player community. ..

Does it really matter when you play the computer and it always cheats!!!

I'd much rather be a Queen, she rules the board, whereas a King can only move 1 space at a time. He really can't protect himself. Keep the rules as they are.

How dare you assume the Queen's gender? Shame on you.

Chess is sexist, homophobic, racist, and pro-Muslim!

Trump must ban it and MAGA and make a new game...

( Yes sarcasm )

Problem Solved the PC Way

The queen can always get a sex change, and the black pieces can identify with being white.

I agree. ...

That's because she has been watching all those ridiculously unreal Amazin' Amazon movies.

You can't lose the King, only threaten him.

We used to have one of them. I remember my niece crying when she was the Confederacy. I asked her why...she said because they were slave owners and bad people. Smart kid.

Why do you pretend to care about chess.

I'm surprised with your lack of education, you even know how to spell the word?

Only the PC zombies are to determine what is or is not racist.

They rule, they punish, we all abide.

 

[harmonica]

EVERYTHING is racist to them
