 I was merely pointing out that by insisting on having players in a team, purely because of their colour, not ability, is racist as well.
No you weren't "pointing out", you were claiming it is so, when in fact it is important to understand that it is not so.

(Really, I know what this forum is like, but is it not possible to pause for thought before referring to a rule brought in by black South Africans and "pointing out" that they're "racist", and ask oneself if you really want to be doing that.)

Curiously Dvorkovich is mentioned here without anything being said about the post he holds in the chess world

The problems seem to have been short lived.
