In a recent article for NBC News, reporter Char Adams explored the question of whether camping is racist. Adams, who is Black, wrote about her own experiences with racism in the outdoors, and she interviewed other Black campers who shared their stories.
Adams' article sparked a debate online, with some people agreeing with her that camping is racist, and others arguing that it is not. Those who agree with Adams point to the fact that camping has historically been seen as a white activity, and that Black people have often been excluded from the outdoors. They also argue that there are still many barriers to Black people enjoying the outdoors, such as lack of access to gear and facilities, and fear of racism.
Those who disagree with Adams argue that camping is not inherently racist, and that anyone can enjoy it regardless of their race. They point to the fact that there are many Black people who love camping, and that there are a number of organizations working to make the outdoors more accessible to Black people.
Ultimately, whether or not camping is racist is a matter of opinion. However, it is important to have this conversation, and to work to make the outdoors more inclusive for everyone.
