This is the problem with racism right here, you don't feel comfortable with people that aren't your race because you see people as their race, see them as people not the color of their skin. Who cares there's no black people hiking there's PEOPLE, I get wanting to be around people of your culture but I don't fly to europe and complain there's not enough Americans walking around to make me feel comfortable this is ridiculous. Noone is stopping anyone of any skin color from buying hiking gear and going out on public trails. Also you don't hike to see people you hike to see the outdoors, what is this nonsense article lmao.
