You're right. It's a known issue. It's predominantly white people going out and enjoying nature, for multiple reasons.

Public forests offer a variety of outdoor recreation activities that enhance participants’ well-being, yet participation remains low among ethnic minorities in the United States. These groups face multiple barriers, including limited information, transportation and financial constraints, safety concerns, fear of discrimination, and wildlife-related anxieties, which are often shaped by broader structural and cultural contexts.

Thanks for sharing. I think it's funny that anecdotes of my lived experience as a brown person gets downvotes, but you sharing an academic paper supporting my lived experience gets up votes.

Your comment didn't read like own experience fyi, it reads like some random claim

Not that comments explicit about experiences don't get downvoted still

I wonder if we're primed to be less likely to interpret statements about people of colour to be personal experiences, because most of the voices we hear are white.

That's a good idea for a psychology experiment...

That's actually a great question. Here I was thinking I made a mistake not announcing myself as a brown man, but why do we assume all speakers are white unless otherwise specified?

I think the Americans who know most about campfires should be Native Americans. It's not fair that white people are getting to spend more time with the land they stole.

Use of campfires should be solely informed by personal interest and cultural ties to use of fire. If there were no systemic barriers, it would be down to cultural factors.

It should be like with tacos. Tacos are cheap and easy to make, so nearly everyone can enjoy tacos. With the barriers removed, tacos are most eaten by Mexican people, because tacos are Mexican culture. That's fair.
