As a minority, and especially as a minority that hikes, I hate these kinds of articles because I feel like their intent is to perpetuate White Guilt. Inequality and racism is bad, but you shouldn't feel guilty about not being poor. (These kinds of articles also conveniently love to forget about poor Whites and instead assume everyone who is White is affluent) Like most articles, they fail to mention Asians. Once again, it's always Blacks and Latinos… Asians make up 4.8% of the US population, yet make up 8% of hikers. If you're Asian, you're nearly twice as likely to go hiking! Blacks make up 12.6% of US population and 11% of hiking population. Latinos make up 16.4% of general population, but only 7% of hikers. Lastly, Whites are 63.7% and 70% respectively. I don't know about you, but these numbers seem to follow general demographic percentages. So why was this article even written? Every time I use a public city/county park, I always see giant groups of Hispanics and Asians. In fact, I always comment on how it seems like only first generation minorities like to take advantage of these services. (Which is a shame because local parks are awesome) I suspect that second generation minorities are enjoying their large house and fancy grill in the suburbs instead.
