I think you will find that focusing a bit less on subjective notions of “respect” and not being offended by innocuous things will make your life a lot less stressful.
Pretty frightening that you can’t see the obvious bias.
They could and should have named the “Iranian teen” in the headline instead of glorifying Magnus as some unbeatable chess god. Not to mention that in the actual article itself the hero image is of Magnus holding a trophy. For an article about how he lost.
There is no "obvious bias". Firouzja is an "Iranian teen".
The fact that "a teen" has beaten the undisputed world champion and number one chess player in the world for the last 10 years at anything involving chess is very surprising and called out in the title (also a lot more click-baity).
Believe me, if and when Firouzja achieves Magnus status and if he then gets beaten by a teen unknown to general audiences we will see a similar headline with Iranian replaced by the teen's country of origin and "Magnus Carlsen" replaced with "Alireza Firouzja".
