I started listening to the podcast but turned it off pretty quick. In the beginning Steve mentioned that his goal has always been to be color-blind in the way that he looks at people and then the guest seemed to disagree. What in the hell is the problem with treating everyone the same?
Because of my time in the military I’m convinced that the sooner we stop using sub-categories to what type of American we are that’s when things will be optimal in our country. That’s what our children naturally do, but it seems like adults and media just have to insert it into every conversation. I don’t listen to MeatEater for their takes on race issues.
Personally, I’m genuinely delighted to see non-whites out hunting, fishing, camping, etc. it would be great to see more of it, but it’s pretty arrogant and patronizing to think that it’s a civic responsibility to enlighten other people (dictated by the amount of melatonin in their skin) of how great our lifestyle is. Let people choose to be passionate in something and they will own it. That being said, I think that hunting workshops in urban areas are a cool idea as long as it’s not patronizing.
