From Washington state…

State officials, worried that too many whites go camping and not enough minorities do, have created a government program to convince more black residents to visit state parks.

You know, because bears on the prowl are demanding more diversity in their menu and the fish are getting sick and tired of The Man.

From the Seattle Times:

The State Parks and Recreation Commission has assembled data showing that many blacks, for a variety of reasons, are not frequent users of the state’s 250,000 acres of parkland, particularly for activities like camping…

My question: Some government busybody is collecting statistics on the race of parkgoers?! Creepy.
