Not an advocate of any racism, however, do you mean to say that the
black and white chess pieces (as they are often represented) are also
racist? Likewise, the concept of good == light, and dark == evil is
also a racist term? I have never thought of it that way, then again,
perhaps I am just (phonetical) ni-eve (grin).
