I used to hike with a sudanese girl a lot here like hundreds of miles a year, she was always in better shape than me and left VT for Colorado for bigger mountains. While I see less poc here I'd argue percentage wise there are as many people of color that enjoy the outdoors as there are white people like it's still only 5% of white people that get off their ass, the more you hike the more you see the same person in a different corner of the state no matter what color you are. If you want to be outside on a mountain, you will be, not a race thing, a personal motivation thing.
