“In this particular context we refer to ‘white privilege' meaning that your race and skin colour can give you access to the outdoors when others can be excluded because of historic enduring racism and biases,” according to an expert of the course.

All I'll say is that I've never noticed a “whites only” sign near hiking trails but then again, I've never heard anyone screaming into a speakerphone while on a hike either

Its becoming a huge issue in the smokies. Many popular hikes are filled with nogs blasting rap music on bluetooth speakers they are carrying.

it should legit be legal to shoot hikers blasting music on a bluetooth speaker with a hunting rifle

I blame Cassius Cash. Also I'm not saying it's necessarily bad but it seems like there's a disproportionate amount of Indians and Muslims wearing headscarves when I go to the Smokies.

Yeah i've been on hikes and have seen groups of dozens of indians all wearing shit that looks like they want to be in an abercrombie and fitch ad.

Yeah lol, it's also weird that they always have the whole family with them. Saves money if they need a rescue since the family can just carry them out I guess.

Yeah, I can't really fault them for bringing the family. Lots of advantages, everyone gets to enjoy the hike and so on. I get it. It's just kinda annoying when none of them stop or they all insist on walking side by side when you're trying to pass them on a 4 foot wide trail on the side of a mountain.

95% of the time when you see people say shit like this they have no idea and are just repeating some stupid thing they heard another stupid person say because they think it makes them sound moral or "on the right side of history."
When pressed for details they can provide none, as they do not exist.
The ones that do attempt to provide them do so using fluff that cant be quantified.
A buddy of mine - very smart guy started hanging out with black women and has gone full woke r-slur.
Claimed his family jewish cemetery wouldnt let black people be buried there.
I asked him if he could be buried there (hes black) and he said yes, but his mom cant because shes black.
He didnt catch the insane contradiction here, even after I got him to admit his mom isnt jewish and thats why, not that shes black.

I live near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There was a lot of hype about the new black superintendent taking over the park in 2015. I couldn't really tell any difference under his reign until he started charging to park (it was famously free to enter and park for many years, and there's some debate about whether it being free is a legal requirement for GSMNP). Every time I see him speaking publicly he's moaning about how black people don't feel welcome outdoors or know about the benefits (he's from the other side of the state, Memphis). I'm just waiting for him to offer blacks free parking so someone can sue and stir up some spicy drama.

I rarely see blacks in my job but when I do they're usually from Connecticut or MA on a hike. NH is just that white and outdoors is mostly enjoyed by whites, tho I see Asians from time to time.
I have a tour and a survival lesson to an almost entirely latinx Boy Scout troop on a trip from MA tho

It's more like well-off people have more leisure time and most rich people tend to be white or Jews. Can't ever say that out loud though

it's not about money, it's about personality. some people enjoy nature. some people can at best tolerate nature, with the help of alcohol and music blaring from bluetooth speakers.
