Easy. Hiking is more racist by far! There is much more gear you need to buy. And since black people have less money, that makes it racist. Also, black folk are more likely to live farther away from hiking places. The distance is like anti social distancing.
LOL! But most of the people that shop REI are there for the look, not actually doing anything with it. Just did a quick hike to Charlie's Bunion this weekend (8mile round-trip), and people were gasping for air less than a mile into it.
