Reply to comment by [deleted] in Decentering Whiteness in Hiking and Fostering Inclusivity Outdoors by honeybeedreams

I suppose you didn’t read it

The only people it pisses off are snowflakes who don’t like the idea of not being the center.

The very title is about the fact that it’s for everyone.

If a PoC who says “maybe white folks shouldn’t be the default in the hobby” pisses you off, maybe you have some shit to work out that you didn’t know was inside you.

Ah there you are. Maybe that thing inside you is well known to you after all.

I perused your sorted by controversial comment history. These aren’t your first racist dog whistles. Piss off.

Sure. I read it. It’s not clickbait; it was published in the Green Mountain Club’s gazette. I’m white, but am interested in others’ perspectives, since by definition I can’t see them unless I’m told about them. I found the article interesting and well-written.

Dude vermont is like 90% white people, people are getting pissed off because obviously statistically there would be more white people on trails in a state with mostly white people and it has nothing to do with black people not feeling like hiking, you know how me and my friends got into hiking? One friend would ask another to go hiking and that one would get into it and get his friends into it, if PoC want more hikers then they should do what everyone else does and try getting thir friends I to it and then their friends friends. Yes some people here are racist I think thats Tru for every state especially older generations but you can't let that stop you from doing what you like, while I've never felt racism I've been in countries that despise Americans and would swear at me when they heard me speaking English, do you think I let that affect my experience? Do you think I stayed inside and hid? No, I went out and had fun and ignored ignorant asshole people, as should everyone, regardless of color.
