Uncle Sam said:Ha! 2 people actually voted yes. And they were probably (hopefully) kidding around. Heck, some chess sets aren't black and white, just 2 different colors. Black and White are just the prettiest and most contrasting. Anyone who complains it's "racist" just wants attention, or is stirring up trouble for fun. Or needs a lobotomy.
One of the people who voted yes must be Perfection.
Oh, and better players don't care which color they play with. However, of games between top-rated players, about 50% of games go to black, 45% to white and 5% are draws. For players rated <2000, though, color doesn't matter at all. (My FIDE rating was 1598 when I stopped playing three years ago. Never quite made it past 1600.)
