Why don’t some ethnic groups enjoy the outdoors?

Was reading the other thread about Muslims in England not enjoying the countryside.

Reminds me of when I was in the 8th grade at Youree Drive Junior High. One morning before class I was sitting in the library with my good friend Tyrone (actual name), who had a huge Brothers Johnson afro and always wore a Brothers Johnson t-shirt, and I mentioned wanting to go hiking in the mountains in Colorado or someplace. Tyrone’s actual words to me:

“What is it with white people liking to go outside? White people always be wanting to hang out in nature and shite. My arse is staying inside where I can relax and listen to music.”

Is this true? Are only white people interested in nature? And if so, are we stupid? I remember seeing some Asians when I was in Banff. But come to think of it, they didn’t look like they were having a good time.

Btw, Strawberry Letter 23 was a hell of a damn song. Love it to this day.

Yes. Only whites like nature. Sigh.

Look up an adventurous / dangerous video online and see comments about “white people be doin the most” etc.

Doesn’t fit your narrative though

KingofAnglers and MarvelousMarv are two black fellows who love the outdoors and love to fish, and do it very well. I follow them both on YouTube.

Because a nature tour in China is teeming with whites. Louisiana education is startling. Some cultures freakin worship nature.

You need to get around a few more black folks who are not city dwellers.

Black guy I went to high school with and his three sons regularly hunt. His wife (also Black) is big into herbal/holistic medicine and grows a full on garden, cans, etc.

A lot of our National Parks are attended by Asian tourists.

Muzzies? Nope.
The blacks? Nope
The Asians? Nope
The Hispanics? Only when the sun is shining.

Honkeys? Yep. They camp in tents …on purpose, outdoor drum circles during protests, spend the night in cars more than ANY other ethnic group, so yeah.

Camping in Marfa, Texas is the whitest thing you can do.

Are you saying smoking weed on a stoop in Hollygrove isn’t outdoorsy enough for you?

That's like saying African Americans don't like going on cruises. Why? Said you aren't going to fool us again.
