When I'm hiking in Canada, I only wear Summit Ice apparel.

Is the middle guy really “white”? I’m not so sure.

This. I’ve been to Calgary and Edmonton numerous times. Combine both cities and I could count the black people that I saw on one hand. Now I will say there were a lot of Asians. So maybe the could put some Asians in the ads.

In the bigger cities, absolutely. Further north you go, the tougher they are.

So let me get this straight. Black folks want to go outside and go hiking and shite. But because they see ads with only white people in the outdoors they think this somehow prevents them from going outside?

So, if having to see your race in every single advertisement of something determines if you can or cannot participate in something, Does this mean, as a white man, it’s physically impossible for me to ever drink Seagram’s Gin?

Did this announcement coincide with the release of the “big MEC” logo on the shirts? Expanding their demographics?

He looks like a Jew to me. Technically, broadly speaking, the Ashkenazi are Caucasian. However, Hitler considered them to be non-white, and he’s my go-to on questions like this.

I'm black, and from a big city up North. I went camping once. Hated it. Haven't hiked since the Army. Tried walking in a swampy area once, but noped the hell out of there with a quickness cause I swore a snake chased me. Yall can have the outdoors.

Yeah because white people are the ones that shop at outdoor apparel stores. You don’t see many black people going hiking.
