This kind of thinking is the real racism. It's saying we can't compete
on a level playing field. We need help from "whitey". This is insulting
to me and should be to all Americans of African descent.
Furthermore, this will likely make college campuses even more diverse
since it will allow more Asians, with their more conservative views,
access to supposedly "racially diverse" colleges.

The unfortunate part of all this is the left continuing to misrepresent
the actual case. For example, nowhere does Sir Barkley acknowledge that people of Asian descent WERE being discriminated against.
His quote is even more silly, as he uses words that are obviously
against the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause: "Let me be clear – affirmative action exists because we cannot rely on colleges, universities and employers to enact admissions and hiring practices that embrace diversity, equity and inclusion,". If he would have left out *equity*, he would stand a chance. But the left is not interested in equality, equity is the word they choose to use. America is not about equity from our government. That's illegal.
FWIW, I have no problem at all with him creating a scholarship for
Black-only students if that's what he wants. I am not positive, but I
don't even think it's illegal. There are scholarships for certain nationalities, certain genders (generally women), etc., and as long as
you're not the university I think you can give your money to whoever you want. Hopefully he's worked this out somehow if this is how he wants
his money spent. Just giving it to the college general fund might not
work out as he had wished, unfortunately.

I would have to disagree with that assessment in a way. First, maybe
some other time we can get into the ridiculousness of today's culture
deeming everything "racist" in one way or another. True racism is
something entirely different than what it is being presented as today.
That said, if Sir Charles was to say he would never give any money to a
white person because he damn well hates them, yes, that I think would be racist. For him to prefer to help a segment of society he is a part of, relates to, and considers worthy of his attention I don't think is
racism. He still could do it either way, one is just more moral than
the other.
In the end, I don't care. The progressives will still find ways to discriminate against those they don't like, while using others money to
help the ones they do. It's what they do.

I currently live in the Midwest, but have hiked all over the US and up
in Canada. I have never seen the type of thing your link suggest is happening. I am a big white man, and have never seen a person of color appear to be afraid of me in the least, or anyone else for that matter
in any of the places we've gone outdoors. If you have this type of
problem up in the Northwest, that is a shame. I definitely would have
the backs of anyone this behavior is exhibited towards. But the OP
makes a valid point that this is perpetuating the stereotyping of people
of color being victim to white folks. I don't like that. In my world,
it's not happening or true. I applaud if someone has the true intention
of getting people outdoors and enjoying everything that brings. Just
find a way to keep the race shit out of it. Publicizing it this way
doesn't do that. It instead continues to divide us. That is a shame.

LOL You live in an amazing fantasy world. Most of the land here is publicly owned. The hiking trails can't legally be segregated. The only thing segregated here is groups of people who are voluntarily segregating themselves, to a small extent.

For a family, even just car camping can represent a significant investment.

I admit it. When you get out of the city, it gets very White out there, but not exclusively. Eastern Oregon gets very white outside of the cities. I assume that racism is likely to be a factor, but I also assume there are a number of other
OTOH the POC that we see out and about all seem to be enjoying themselves. Harassment doesn't appear to be common. You see a lot of Hispanic and Asian people on the coast. Black people are more common than they used to be. One of the more obviouschanges in Oregon, over the years, is the wide diversity of ethnic food available almost everywhere. I can remember Newport when it had one Mexican restaurant, just outside of town, two Chinese restaurants and one pizza parlor, along with a ton of

I would have to disagree with that assessment in a way. First, maybe >>>>>> some other time we can get into the ridiculousness of today's culture >>>>>> deeming everything "racist" in one way or another. True racism is
something entirely different than what it is being presented as

In the end, I don't care. The progressives will still find ways to >>>>>> discriminate against those they don't like, while using others

LOL You live in an amazing fantasy world.
should look in the mirror occasionally.
I currently live in the Midwest, but have hiked all over the US and up
in Canada. I have never seen the type of thing your link suggest is
happening. I am a big white man, and have never seen a person of color
appear to be afraid of me in the least, or anyone else for that matter
in any of the places we've gone outdoors. If you have this type of
problem up in the Northwest, that is a shame. I definitely would have
the backs of anyone this behavior is exhibited towards. But the OP
makes a valid point that this is perpetuating the stereotyping of people >>> of color being victim to white folks. I don't like that. In my world,
it's not happening or true. I applaud if someone has the true intention
of getting people outdoors and enjoying everything that brings. Just
find a way to keep the race shit out of it. Publicizing it this way
doesn't do that. It instead continues to divide us. That is a shame.
I have two relatives working for Space X that are living in Duval, Wa.
We will be making it out there soon, and I guess we'll see for
ourselves.

IOW, as usual, you have no idea what you're talking about, and
you're perfectly happy to go chasing ghosts. You won't see the people
who might be afraid of you out of the hiking trails. If they got out
of the city in the first place most of those folks don't get far from
the parking lot. There is an unspoken reason why these hiking groups
are a good idea, and it has nothing to do with race. The biggest
problem you will encounter is thieves. It really isn't a good idea to
leave a car you care about at any trailhead. I sometimes do it, but I
know I'm gambling.
I meet and chat with people from all sorts of backgrounds when >> we're out and about. They're all pretty ordinary people.
TB
How can you meet all sorts of people when some groups have their own
trail which by definition excludes you?
When's the last time you saw a transvestite or drag queen out hiking or jogging. They are too busy shaking their asses in front of school children.

Before Covid hit we were up in the Banff area of Canada and hiking in
the National Parks. One day there was a small group of a half dozen
people we kept running into. Unlike TechnoKook, I don't hang around
with the boisterous alphabet crowd and don't search them out, so back
then I hadn't seen many alphabet people. There was a man in the gang
who was about 6' 5" tall, and every bit a man, except for the obvious
set of boobs he had.
Finally I had to ask my wife what the hell that
was. She explained it to me, and I said OK.
Now that I look back on it, I guess the guy was doing OK for someone
with an obvious mental health issue. He didn't seem to mind people
looking funny at him. He was dressed to show his feminine side and
nobody really cared. But it is not something you normally see, so
people were noticing.

Were they proportional?
