is chess racist?

I don't think it's racist, one color had to go first, you know. In checkers, black goes first

That's like saying that the SnowGrave Route in Deltarune is racist because the LIGHTners are freezing DARKners to death

Or that Baba is You is racist for having a white main character (a fuzzy sheep-thing named Baba)

Colour is combination of elementary colours upto tertiary mixture.
Shade is changes in particular colour by addition of extra colours in certain amounts.

Then how are white and black chess pieces the same shade?

Upto the tertiary level of colours, we can't get either Blaxk or White with standard elementary colours.
But it's part of shade only: we can mix more colours in specific amounts to get White and Black.

okay

true if you are white you are black and if you are black you are white
that is the only change

No. Chess is not racist.
