I don't have any problem with the article. The solution, however, is much larger. It has to start at the juvenile age.
It is being instituted, in a very small way, near me.
I go camping quite often in the Okoboji Iowa area. There is a camp there that takes young people from at risk neighborhoods and takes them camping in a group camp type setting. They get consoling, taught education, people skills, and things like swimming. Some of them have never seen a lake or pool before and have no idea how to swim.
By the end of the camp they have having the time of their lives around the campfire and jumping into the lake.
(I tried to find the name of the place but, could not find it easily. They keep a low profile so as to not attract attention from the large quantity of biggets we have in this area. )
If you want to get more people of color in the RV hobby you have to get more of the youth out of town and into the outdoors to teach them how great the outdoors can be.
If you spent your whole life locked up in a small apartment in a big city and never saw anything else you would think that is the only way the world is .
Sorry if I didn't explain this very well.
You need to get kids out camping if you want them; as adults; to go out camping and buy RV's
