Replying to Skiing’s POC problem
Legit have been wanting to discuss this:
We all know that the vast majority of skiers are white. The obvious reasons for this are because of economic inequality between races etc. But also, as far as I’ve seen (anecdotally), POC generally opt for snowboarding, especially black people. Why is this? What can the industry do to appeal to POC as much as snowboarding?
There are a decent amount of black and POC pro snowboarders, but I can only think of like three black sponsored skiers.
Not trying to stereotype, I just wanna talk about what i’ve personally observed and see what ppl think.
