I have noticed that when I challenge after choosing "Random", I usually get Black. Now, that's OK by me but, unless the challengee gets a choice, the random algorithm needs a random adjustment.🙂
To be truly 'random' is very difficult, but there are lots of very convincing algorithms nowadays. I would guess that across the whole user base the likelihood of either black or white would be the same when choosing 'random'. For a given user (yourself for example), the chances may seem skewed slightly.
When you've used this more than a thousand times and you are very far from 500/500 then there may be a problem - but otherwise ... well it's just random.

I chose white or I chose black.
If my opponent doesn't agree, then I expect him to delete the game and start another one with his chosing.
