Very well said by on of the blogger on the link provided above...
The ignorance of white people never ceases to amaze me. The
racism/classism/neo-colonialists attitudes are alive and well. Wake the
fuck up white people. This is THEIR land, THEIR mountain. As a brown
person, I know I could never go to the Swiss Alps, Rocky Mountains,
etc.. with such complete disregard for the people and government that
are the stewards of the land. Yes, you pay money, but you need to
respect them. Without them, no one would have ever ascended Mt. Everest
(yes not even the "first" who supposedly was a white man, I disagree,
how did the sherpas know how to get up there, somebody obviously knew
the way because they had gone up before). I digress. The white
privilege stops in nature who surprisingly doesn't give two shits about
your corporate job, your skin color or your gender. I'm so tired of
foreigners coming to our lands and then being surprised that someone
actually retaliates when they are treated inhumanely and are
disrespected. The world dominance via the neo colonialist system is no
fault of the "developing nations" but leave them their dignity assholes.
Finally, to these jerkoffs, look, you selfish pricks, I could care two
shits whether you summited Everest or not and perhaps you may never
learn empathy but at least know that people can only be humiliated for
so long before they will fight back and know that no one, if you didn't
have your money or your skin color would like you because you are cruel
and heartless. Pray that you won't ever lose either of the two because
then you will really learn the meaning of what goes around comes around.
