goes well with your title of 'filthy racist'There is only one race, the human race.
I read it on a bumper sticker. But it does ring true...
Which, by the by, I am not. It is irony at its finest, is it not?goes well with your title of 'filthy racist'
I have to agree with you on this. Lack of a good role model plays a huge roll in the diversity issue. Location will also affect this.Nope, not me.
I understand it's a difficult queston to answer, just wondering what other people thought the reasoning would be.
Lack of role models of a persons ethnicity in the sport perhaps? One of the MTBR users raises the point that the % of ethnic minorities living in 'mountain bike areas' like Arizona is a lot smaller than the amount of white people. Seems valid.
yeah, but there are lots of flatlanders & people in the east/plains/south/midwest that dont have mountains but still mountain bike. WI has one of the biggest XC racing circuits in the country & there aint no mountains anywhere near us.I have to agree with you on this. Lack of a good role model plays a huge roll in the diversity issue. Location will also affect this.
Aesop Rock....there ain't no rap songs 'bout mountain biking
like why black people love menthol cigarettesFunny part.... come to my area, youll find mostly mexican and Philipino riders. Specially on Sundays at Huldacrooks park. There are alot of Black roadies in this area, but only a small handfull of Black Mtn riders...... I think thats just one of those things you cant explain
Exactly..... Never did understand that one eitherlike why black people love menthol cigarettes
....followed by the pain of death burning lung cancer.Exactly..... Never did understand that one either
Then again..... I liked Menthols too..... Something about that cool rush into your lungs.
If your name isn't Dave H. then whoever asks you that must not ride the Boston area trails.Now that I think about it, it doesn't suck really in the riding aspect of things. In the end everyone is trying to have fun and what not, so we have a commonality there which makes ethnicity inexistent.
What does suck is when everyone asks you that question "How come your the only Korean I know that rides bikes?" Like I know that answer...
That, and non-whites have a lot more common sense than us.Maybe that ^^, and MTB is an expensive-ish sport and minorities (in the U.S.) typically make less money than whites?
Yeah, I guessed you weren't actually a racist. It's not the kind of thing people advertise really. Was just enjoying that delicious irony
Amen Brother..... Havent smoked for well over a decade myself...........followed by the pain of death burning lung cancer.

Not canadian, don't smoke menthols.Canadians don't smoke menthols, put your hand down.
