Going outside and enjoying time in the outdoors is now white supremacy. Yes, you heard that correctly, because apparently minorities don’t have access to nature the same way white people do.
A student (naturally) at Pitzer College in California has declared that “people of color have been denied access to the outdoors” in an op-ed for her school’s newspaper.
I can’t believe I’m typing these words.
The student directed her ire at two of the college’s nature groups, claiming that “racial boundaries” keep minority students from feeling “at ease” in the outdoors.
“Both clubs claim to be accessible,” he writes. “While trips are open to any student wanting to go, not everyone feels the same ease in entering the outdoors. This discomfort is unfortunately caused by existing racial boundaries.”
It’s worth noting that the person who wrote this is white, and claims that the term “outdoorsy” makes people think of white men. Now I might be in that particular minority here, but when I hear the term “outdoorsy” I cringe because it doesn’t sound like it should be a word, but then I think of my mother who has always been interested in that kind of thing. Gardening, going to the mountains, seeing all of nature. I don’t think of some random white guy with a backpack and a tent. That’s just weird.

More BS from the land of fruits and nuts.
It must require a considerable amount of post-secondary education to be able to dream up all these new imaginary boundaries and impediments.
I hate to break this to you, but if 'they' don't FEEL comfortable, THEY need to deal with THEIR feelings.
It has nothing to do with me or anything I am doing.
If they want to go outside, just do what my five-year-old used to do-- open the door and go through it. Take a deep breath, look around and enjoy.
sounds like a personal issue
This kid's been watching too much Duck Dynasty.
10:03. Dead on. Mic drop
If he believes California was stolen WHY is he living in California? Why doesn't he leave the USA? Live in Africa?
Well captain obvious the thing about nature is its away from cities. This is hilarious. This is purely a cultural mindset not a racial mindset. There are plenty of Caucasian, African anmerica, Latino and of the orient that are farmers and outdoors enthusiast. The difference is yuppies pitch tents with tv's and technology making it seem glamorous. I can assure you there is nothing stopping you strapping on a pack and hiking 30 miles on foot into the woods. The only thing is it takes work. Something many are not willing to do.
Yeah right that is why in the summer they are all outside!
Left wingers want segregation.
You open the door & step outside. Yes, anybody can, any color can. Case closed!
