I guess chess needs to add the right percentage of brown and yellow pieces to balance out the overrepresented blacks and whites. :)

I am a fanatical board game player. This woman is nuts.

First of all, a good hunk of the games at Boardgamegeek are so-called Eurogames. Germany is the big kahuna in publishing these games. Many of these games have a European historic theme. So, to be authentic, you pretty much have to leave out left-handed Burmese lesbians.

I have noted a whole mess of board games coming out of Japan and Korea lately--that have Oriental themes.

Most of the games that I see unmoored from a historic theme go out of their way to be politically correct in the diversity of people portrayed. And I find it odd now if a woman's name is not used in play examples in the rule books.

Will you be selling that online? Maybe at Trump rallies, where the real racists hang out?? haha.

Today I reaped the whirlwind by saying, after a bunch of folks whined about how in the 1920’s they couldn’t buy houses in one part of a community nearby - “When people complain today, I think it is pathetic compared to then.” Boy were folks mad! I should have asked about the most recent lynching - but I ran screaming instead.

I think you have a money-maker here.

This demonstrates perfectly the plunge into madness that is intersectionalism.

Normal world: Hey, there aren’t a lot of board games appealing to minorities. That’s a big opportunity! (Designs game, makes $$$, everyone happy)

Politically Correct world: Hey, there aren’t a lot of board games appealing to minorities! Let’s protest so that GameCo is forced to issue a game that matches our (leftist) idea of what minorities want! (GameCo makes game, it’s awful leftist diatribe junk, nobody buys it)

Intersectional world: Hey, there aren’t board games made by and for every variation of fictionally-repressed subgroup! Facist (sp) whiteness! Reeee! Destroy all of civilization and replace it with the prosperity of Venezuela and the basic decency of Maoist China.

Liberal bigotry on display. White guys in any group, by their definition, are bad.
It is inborn sin from Christianity without the redemption of accepting Christ. You’re just inherently bad, at best tolerated by your moral superiors if you self-flagellate and apologize for existing often enough.
It is turning into a caste system, white being the new dhimmi / untouchable. Only suited for the nastiest jobs, unacceptable for marriage and any respectable role. And never to be in leadership over any other demographic, always to be systematically humiliated to keep them in their place.

players of color should start monopoly with extra cash and a grant license on Park Place to overcome systemic racism inherent in a capitalist society

Actually they should just sit on free parking and collect every roll and every time someone passes free parking they have to give 25$ of their cash on hand to the players sitting on free parking.
