This reminds me of when Obama said, “ Not a smidgen of corruption”. Both make me chuckle

I kinda missed this part of your initial comments, but reading back through this thread, it requires a response because of how obnoxiously racist it is. Is it really your assertion that black people don't ski because they're too poor for it? fricking what? And then you have the nerve to talk about integrity. Hey, jackass, most black people don't ski because they have no interest in doing so, and wish to spend their money on other interests and hobbies. "Duh, black people can't afford to ski." Do you ever actually put a little thought into the shite you say?

Can media create more controversy should be the headline.

Yes, it costs money to ski or do anything else. But this article states there’s a racial, not economic, reason that whites ski more.
Second, can you tell us what it’s like to be racist? To view blacks as being so childlike that they can’t figure out how to drive to a mountain and ski without generations of wealth. You think so little of blacks but I bet you consider yourself so virtuous.

But no, European countries must diversify themselves. White countries must be for everyone. Every other race can have a homeland. Just not whites.

Serious question, why does everything need to be diverse?
Whoever is pushing this typically has little to no diversity in their life by design. This shite is for everyone else, not them.

I saw some black folks in Breckenridge last week…the movement is real.

It can. With time. It is a sport that is tough to meet the buy-in barrier. But just like all sports, it will become more diverse as more diverse people participate.
What's crazy is that skiing is probably less accessible than any other time in recent history.
Lift tickets on a decent mountain have absolutely skyrocketed over the last 10 years.
shite that used to be like 50 bucks a day not that long ago is now 3 or 4 hundred.
I remember back when I went skiing with the LSU group back in the late 2000's a 4 day lift pass was 250. That's not even enough for one day on the slopes now.

When I was a kid I met OJ and Nicole on top of the mountain in Vail. All I got.

nba represents the elite 0.00001% of basketball players in the world, so a small advantage can be be the edge needed to get to that level.
