I assume your friend's brother is a SJW.

A few years ago at our small town's Halloween parade, I overheard someone (I'm assuming a transplant) comment caustically that there was no diversity (the marchers, bands, float participants almost all white, because our community IS 97 percent white). One guy countered with, "Something wrong with that?" Another, "We like it that way."

DH and I go kayaking at a nearby lake. I've NEVER seen a minority in a kayak...or a sailboat or a pontoon.

ABC loves to stoke a little (lot) of hate during election year (and every year)

I’m dark skinned as they come and done all three but I’m not of African descent, do I count?

Finding new things that are "racist."
Considering the white population of the United States is 72%, 77% seems pretty much in line.

Sure, she faces racism. She is whiter than anyone in my family.

This is just more white liberal divide and conquer bs. You generally don't see many black folks hiking, camping, white water rafting, or canoeing, the same way you don't see many black folks skiing or snowboarding. Different interests, but I think this may change in generations to come. Like NigerianNightmare said, black people are mostly near cities - so they're into zoo's, theme parks, water parks, street festivals, music festivals, etc.

Look at the example they found of the woman stating she feels like she doesn't fit in. She looks like she could be European, and she's suggesting park rangers have hassled her?

I'm sorry - I'm not buying it. If she was ever hassled it was probably by some Barney Fife type who hassles everyone entering the park or someone who was having a bad day. (because park rangers are usually overly helpful)

Let's put this in perspective since it's just one white SJW's nutball hypothesis.
