While I’ve always considered myself fairly well acquainted with black cultural habits, taboos and social norms due to having had a number of black people as friends over the course of my life, I have to say I am curious about this black people not camping thing, and the article said nothing about it that I could see. Black people fish, black people go hunting. Maybe the author is too urban to realize this. Or, maybe there’s something else going on and I’m the one missing a clue, lol. I’ve never really thought about it but can’t recall ever seeing a black person camping. There’s a sort of wackiness about the notion of a black family towing an Airstream heading off to wherever, I guess because it’s just such a stereotypically white thing to do. But again, I’ve never thought about it. Will somebody who knows the answer please chime in, lol?
Stereotypes. My brother in law is 6’4”, lean and as black as they come. When someone asks if he is basketball player he is insulted and lets them know it. His sport is rodeo. He is, or was, a bull rider.
