Climbers of color affinity group 2017 trips
Postby Gabriel » Mon Nov 28, 2016 6:47 pm
Hello,

Here are my trips for 2017 so far: PM if interested.

Nepal: Late spring. Everest base camp trek to acclimatize and then a climb determined by group experience and goals.

Alps: July/August- I'll be in the Alps for a month. I have taken annual trips to the Alps for the past 31 years. I'm currently interested in non- standard routes, but for this group would be willing to repeat some normal routes.

PM if interested,

Gabriel

No, just listed again for 2918-19 and it was on the main forum page for about 3 minutes. Notlooking for confrontation, just partners.

I didn't see your post so I can't comment on it.

I do remember a post about a LGBT group that received a lot of posts. Now that post was excluded some people and seems to be OK. LGBT Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender.

LGBTQIA is the proper term to include Queer or Questioning, Intersex and Asexual

Was your post properly inclusive?

The LGBT thread excluded QIAH (H-heterosexual). Is that sexist? If so, why is sexism tolerated here? Why isn't Gabriel's version of "racism", as defined by you, accepted?

I don't think that asking for partners that may share similar life experiences, especially different from the norm of the group is racist. However leading a thread by calling out racists leaves a poor impression. I hope Gabriel leaves this attitude at home when he meets climbers from around the world, that share his goals and experienves.

The key is discrimination Scott. It only counts if you aren't invited.

Review...

I suggest that all the white people go back to Europe and leave Colorado to us natives.

This is actually a private land issue. It belongs to the indigenous Latino group that has written title to it. I'm a member of that cultural group and of course a climber. Stop being so ignorant of history.

Latin is not indigenous to the Americas.
