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.
