Your statement and the article have to the dumbest things I read today.

Edit: I apologize. I thought you were agreeing with the article.

Her paragraph: Yet it’s simplistic and inaccurate to think that people of color don’t appreciate nature. The trails in Griffith Park and above Pasadena are filled with hikers who look like Los Angeles. On weekends, the city's biggest parks and its other outdoor venues are enjoyed by families of all ethnicities and races.

Yet she still blathers for at least another page.

I bet we would be shocked (shocked!) if we learned what percentage of white folks don't visit a state/national park in a year.

I do not agree with the article. It is sensationalistic crap as you said.
