Just to be clear, I was responding to the post, and am (not) familiar with this Red vs White contest.
:D
Just to be on the safe side.
Go Donald.
When the Communists overthrew the existing Russian Government in 1917, they controlled large parts of the country, and were called the Reds. However, a significant part of Russia didn’t like the Communists, and there was an organized rebellion (the “counter-revolution”). It went on for several years. Those guys were the Whites.. in that context.
