People of colour want to do it, but they need a bridge to get them there.

What's the joke: If black people are sleeping outside, we got evicted.

Seems pretty racist. So black people can’t see an ad for outdoor gear and say “you know, maybe if I were as human as those white folks I too could wear overpriced outdoor apparel. Alas, I must sit here in my loincloth with a plate in my lip and a bone through my nose until they they show me a dark skinned person in a canoe. Ooga booga.”
It’s this kind of patronizing bullshite that is the most insidious and degrading.

i'm fairly certain there are a vast amount of studies proving that minorities don't value and/or use local, state, or national parks.
so something that is a statistical fact, replicated into a commercial advertising to a specific demographic, is now deemed racist and necessary of apology. burn it down and let's start over.

In these peoples' defense, the three people in that ad are extremely white.
And in the company's defense its Canada home of the "Great White North" plus there aren't any African Americans living in Western Canada. Does the targeted outrager want Canada to import more Africans?

It’s ok to have an entire fricking TV channel dedicated to blacks called BET
I believe the protesters point is that the Outdoor Channel is inherently racist because there aren't any African Americans mountain climbing or snowboarding.

The letter — titled “Do white people dominate the outdoors?” — includes a collage of old MEC ads: white people hiking and biking and rock climbing and cross-country skiing; white people in khaki shorts; white people rafting in wetsuits.
THIS is what oppression looks like. THIS is why Kap kneels. THIS is why we must resist white supremacy and fight for equality.
White people, now do you get it?!
