Because in all honesty... Hiking is the most white most male thing you can do without looking like a full blown bonkers brotato. It's a dog whistle. It's been talked about a lot by non-Westerners. It's a masculine Western dog whistle... "accept me"https://twitter.com/chrisalbon/status/1142841798097637377 …

My guess is that this grows out of American Transcendentalism - that enjoying nature in a particular way identifies you as a particular kind of “thinker”. (I also like hiking)
-
I have a constant pain in my feet right now, so I dislike walking even, but yes, the idea of a nice hike in an ideal world is appealing. I just don't like running out of food and water which seems to be some people's cup of tea. LMAO

There’s also the weird American frontier/survivalist mindset that you grow up with. Controlled deprivation is a virtue.

Yeah a lot of us grew up in the woods so it’s sort of a back to childhood exploration thing. I hate hiking tho, but I love camping
-
Well, it would be nice if it wasn't seen as a thing we all have to do. We don't do this where I am from.

So spot on

-
Hahahahaha... Although... Camping by the sea...

Do you consider yourself white?
-
Kinda ... I don't feel or put 'white' enough for the HR forms ... my lovely white other half says I'm 'off white' ... white is in the mind of the moment ... do you think I (we) are white, or how white? We kind of are, no?

I'm not Greek. I don't identify as anything other than Middle Eastern and white-passing in the West. In Cyprus it's a different context but colorism exists in both. I see the racism directed at my mum because of what she looks like (dark skin, facial features) esp. in the UK.

Μα δε σε θεώρησα "Ελληνίδα" ... ? Δεν αισθάνεσαι ποτέ αμφιθυμία γι αυτά; like, which language am I ? Are my kids british? ...

No, I feel very very excluded from Britishness especially these last 2-3 years.

It is wrong. It's just walking around with another name.
