He just posted the story. At least wait for him to take a side before you open fire.
Heck, not only is it racist, it also promotes the bourgeouis, male-dominated system at the expense of the lower classes. For example, the underclass pawns, who are supposed to sacrifice themselves for their "king". It also ignores the principle of seperation of church and state (witness the bishop playing piece), and glorifies the military-industial complex (the knight), sexism (the king being more highly esteemed than the queen). It also discriminates against the gay-lesbian-transgendered community because of the heterosexual stereotype fostered by a king and queen. It also ignores the special needs community, you'll notice the rooks aren't handicapped accessible
