World champion Anand has dark skin and had him beat by a good deal on the time scale, but (of course) Sultan Mir Khan predates both by 80 years. Skin pigment does not seem to be the controlling factor in chess ability. I do agree that he's clealy getting the short end of the stick, but it's not exactly a computer chess topic. Maybe the Chess Thinker's Forum is a good place to discuss prejudice in chess. In any case, we won't want to jump the gun and decide that someone is a bigot unless they say something bigoted.
