Reply to comment by cpujockey in Decentering Whiteness in Hiking and Fostering Inclusivity Outdoors by honeybeedreams

Things I've seen in the last 5-10 years:

  • staring, which is just weird
  • Giving instructions on how to hike; assuming that because a person is black, they are new to hiking
  • A woman that was vocally surprised to see a black family hiking, and gave a shitty "compliment".

  • positioned myself to interrupt staring and acknowledged I was aware of their staring

  • Yes

  • Family handled

Edit: you asked, I responded. There was additionally a lot of context surrounding each situation
