I have played boardgames all over the world for reasons I wont go in to. I have noticed a strange thing. Non-whites couldn't care less about boardgames. I don't get it. They are low-cost, stimulating, social, meditative and wholesome indoor activity.
So, if you have any insight on this topic, please shed some light on it, as its something that has eluded me my whole life.
If you are non-white, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on why the disparity exists. And it can't be "muh representation" because 90% of these games have non-white ethnic themes.
One of the side benefits of tabletop games are the barrier to entry. Complex rulesets and investments of time and money are good for sorting out the riff-raff, but unfortunately not so good at limiting the amount of autists.

I loved playing Monopoly under a petroleum lamp when the power went out, some of my favourite childhood memories

I've found it refines the autists to 99.8% purity, depending on genre.
Chess, the original boardgame, was probably invented in India, or alternatively in China. From Africa, you get the whole Mancala series of games. Playing games is a human activity, and every race does. The 'non-whites that couldn't care less' are just boring persons.

I've been getting into Carcassonne recently it's pretty fun and I've never seen anyone other than whites play.

For some reason it seems like people from eastern Europe play a lot more than anyone else compared to anyone here white or non white, I think OP is just ignoring shit like GO ect.

Close, but not quite.
Nonwhites don't bond with their children. Here in Singapore there's the Chinese, whose main interaction with their kids is to ask "YOU LAWYER YET? WHY YOU NO LAWYER YET?" once a year and otherwise not speak to them. And there's also the Malays, whose adults are asleep 99% of the time anyway.
Neither of these races play board games, because the idea of wholesome fun is alien to them anyway, and the idea of intergenerational wholesome fun doubly so.
