Chess is inherently “racist” because the white pieces always have the first move, according to completely ridiculous suggestions by an ABC radio station.

Chess grandmasters and former world champions immediately slammed the ABC, describing the idea that chess is “racist” as “completely ridiculous” and an example of Marxist liberal thinking that is tearing society apart.

After an Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Sydney radio station posed the question that the game of chess may be racist, Russian chess grandmaster and former world champion Garry Kasparov and former Australian chess representative John Adams took to Twitter to slam the notion, calling it “bulls**t” and an example of cultural Marxism gone mad.

JPost report: Adams noted that ABC contacted him to make a comment on the segment, which is intended to run Wednesday.

“Then they said with everything going on, they wanted to have a conversation about white going first (in chess) – and the racial context of whether white should go first. I said I’m no longer involved but I passed them along to another person.”

After dismissing the request to speak on the radio show, Adams took to Twitter to voice his opinions.

“The ABC have taken the view that chess is RACIST given that white always go first,” Adams wrote on Twitter. “Trust the taxpayer funded national broadcaster to apply ideological Marxist frameworks to anything & everything in Australia!“

“With all the drama resulting from COVID-19, I am amazed that the ABC is broadcasting on irrelevant topics!“
