When I was young I remember asking a WWII army veteran why he didn't camp, and he said he had done enough already thank you.
If you're poor and can afford to buy a car (even if it is a POS) then why would you want to walk anywhere?
If you're poor and you are fortunate to have a roof over your head (even if it's in a tenement) then why would you want to live out of a tent?
If you're poor and you can afford some meat (even if it isn't the best quality) then why the heck would you be a vegetarian?
It used to be a mark of dishonor to have a tan because it meant you worked in the fields. Now a tan means you make enough money that you can afford the time to just sit around in the sun by a pool.
Having the financial wherewithal to spend a week or two pretending to be an illegal alien, i.e. walking on your own two feet and living out of tents eating only what you can carry on your back is not a luxury that poor people can afford.
It certainly isn't something that a successful person of color wants to engage in since it evokes the poverty he/she has successfully escaped.
Liberal elitists are working on ways to make it difficult for even middle class whites to enjoy camping and backpacking. They are trying to get more and more land designated as wilderness. So those who can spare just a weekend to get out into the backcountry, won't be able to do so because the backcountry will only be available to those who have the time to walk for a week or two to get to it.
The naivety and denial is strong with this SJW.

That is what I told my daughters when they asked about going camping!
That’s why I rarely see blacks skiing. I see even fewer blacks windsurfing or kiteboarding. Or waterskiing. I guess it reminds them of being something - who knows what - they are offended or hurt by.
Interesting. I am poor and used to be very poor, and lived in a large tent for a year when I couldn’t afford rent, and also in a large tent for half a year when I moved on property and built very gradually.
I loathe camping. PLus I already live in the woods, in a house.
