National Parks Try to Appeal to Minorities - Corporate donors pay nonwhites to visit parks (as Jack Parr use to say, "I kid you not." One big problem? The 'fear' of too many whites)

National Parks Try to Appeal to Minorities



KIRK JOHNSON

LA PUSH, Wash. — Thrusting out into the Pacific Ocean, Olympic National Park can feel like a lost world, with its ferny rain forests, violent surf and cloud-shrouded peaks.

But to the four women who hiked down to the sand one recent afternoon, there was an added element of strangeness: race.

“We’ve been here for two days, walking around, and I can’t think of any brown person that I’ve seen,” said Carol Cain, 42, a New Jersey resident of Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, who was zipped up tight in her hooded, dripping rain jacket.

The National Park Service knows all too well what Ms. Cain is talking about. In a soul-searching, head-scratching journey of its own, the agency that manages some of the most awe-inspiring public places is scrambling to rethink and redefine itself to the growing number of Americans who do not use the parks in the way that previous — mostly white — generations did.

Only about one in five visitors to a national park site is nonwhite, according to a 2011 University of Wyoming report commissioned by the Park Service, and only about 1 in 10 is Hispanic — a particularly lackluster embrace by the nation’s fastest-growing demographic group. . . .

     All of this goes along with the strangely condescending and, dare one say it, racist assumptions of Multicultural Marxist elites, who, while fanatically commanding us to 'Celebrate Diversity!,' almost always reside in nearly all-white neighborhoods and simply assume out-of-hand that nonwhites can be 'educated' to become more like whites, liberal Democrat whites of course.
