I think she is just referring to the common difference between people who grew up in urban areas and people who grew up in rural areas. I have met young men from urban areas who are uncomfortable the first time they are camping in a forest at night. I have also met plenty of "people of color" from rural areas who are totally comfortable in places where I was looking around constantly at the alligators. It has nothing to do with race, just what you are familiar with.
I read a sign warning of mountain lions at a campground once. It wasn't a relaxing night for me, but the locals seemed unfazed.
