Retailer Offers Discount If You Take Their 'Digital Course in Racial Inclusion'

Twitter

I've done a lot of posts on how camping is racist. Back during the Obama administration, to mark the Centennial Initiative of the National Park Service, President Barack Obama said the initiative was to "increase inclusion and representation of America’s communities of color in our national parks and other public lands.” 

Among the changes encouraged by the Centennial Initiative was a redesign of all national parks to remove "intimidating imagery," such as the vehicles driven by and uniforms worn by park rangers, both of which “have law enforcement connotations” and therefore “present a significant impediment to engaging all Americans.” In other words, blacks were scared away from national parks by park rangers who dressed too much like cops.

A few days later, a study by the Center for American Progress and Conservation Science Partners suggested further actions were needed to promote access and inclusion as the National Park Service celebrated its centennial.

ABC News in 2020 reported that national parks face an "existential crisis" and remain "stubbornly white," with 77 percent of national park visitors being white. The Los Angeles Times fretted that camping was too expensive for black families:

A couple of weeks ago, John Ekdahl compiled headlines about "the unbearable whiteness of hiking."

Outdoor outfitter The North Face is tackling the decentering of whiteness by offering a digital course about racial inclusion. Members who complete the course get 20 percent off online.

"In this particular context we refer to "white privilege" meaning that your race and skin colour can give access to the outdoors when others can be excluded because of historic, enduring racism and biases," the description reads. Apparently, being white is your ticket to going outdoors.

This is woke capitalism at its worst. All of this is racist: blacks can't afford camping gear, and they're afraid of park ranger uniforms.

What is "Allyship in the Outdoors"? Are white campers supposed to drag black families against their will out into the woods? And why does The North Face think all of its white customers are racist?

ABC News called it an "existential crisis" in that the majority of Americans are white, and the majority of visitors to national parks are also white. Why hasn't the Biden administration done something about this?
