Skateboarding has always been "diverse". Look back to late 80s and early 90s videos. Every team had non white people on it.
There is even people with no legs skating in contests! Talk about "inclusive". There was even professional females in the 90s.
Get over your fake outrage. When supply does not meet your demand, you need to create your own supply!
Bitches.

Who is outraged? Looks like you. Sorry nazi boy lost his paycheck, but with time you’ll learn to enjoy life again

Well, that's a good thing let's spread the positivity

You can't fake being good at skating, and pretty much anybody who rips has always gotten a pass. I'd venture that skateboarding has the most racial diversity at the pro level of any "sport" in America. I'd add to that economic and even geographic diversity. Skateboards are cheap, no matter how much skaters bitch about the price. Most everybody has had do move to Cali to make it in the media world, but amazing skaters have come from practically every corner of this fucked up country.

So,you're mad that skateboarding is too "diverse" and "inclusive"? If that's the case, then you can kick rocks.

Yeah it's pretty rad

i think his argument is that no one in skating can be a bigot, since such a diverse group of people skate?

No fucking way, bruh!

If you sign your little "letter" like this I am inclined to believe that this might be your name. So, please go on and focus your account Bitches.

Bummer. I thought for a second we might have an actual conversation about diversity and inclusivity in skateboarding (of which we are way behind, in my opinion), and all we get is some damn fool with an fresh account he signed up for two weeks ago inciting sassy comebacks.
There should be some time or posts prerequisite before a Newbie can start a topic.
-
questioning being the bitches of a select few actors of an industry that to this day still print ads promoting "diversity" and "inclusion" as totally embodied by the exemplary Highway Murderers in magazines mostly read by kids definitely makes us bitches, yes. we've got it all wrong, PALS; let's all turn our backs to modernity and progress in order to irresponsibly consume, surrender our loot to fossils of companies that really need to keep milking skateboarding so bad, and worship I-HATE-YOU's almighty word (apparently consisting in recycling real values into "commercial" "gimmicks") instead.

So instead of starting a "actual conversation about diversity and inclusivity in skateboarding " you do the opposite. Tell me how I am wrong, explain to me how what I said is not accurate.
So starting a new account is the same as your day of birth? In your mind, my freedom of speech should be oppressed because I do not say what you think I should? That's a pretty hypocritical statement.You claim to want "diversity" but all opinions should be the same? If I dare think differential I need to be shut down? Classic!

How did you possible come to that conclusion? That statement was to contrast all of the recent posts about nazis, racism and white supremacy stuff.

I would not go that far. There is bigotry, racism, group think and tribalism everywhere. I am just saying that skateboarding has been accepting of people from all walks of life from pretty much the beginning.

What are you even talking about? You are making arguments for words I did not even say. Do you need to virtue signal that bad?

You are very unclear in your argument. Please provide us with some sources which inform your opinion. Preferably some Reddit or YT links. *tips fedora*

It's funny how bummed people are that Jason Jesse's calculatedly offensive gear was, indeed, offensive.

I would say its more of a statement to contrast the recent influx of the (insert buzz words) posts.
Hopefully you tipped your fedora into the trash.

This thread reminds me of a video Vice did on the new Wolfenstein game some months back. When they released a trailer for it, a bunch of people came out of the woodwork saying they were disappointed in the developer for "getting political" and were boycotting the game. Hilariously, the only political statement the game was making was that Nazis are bad (given that the premise of the game is to kill Nazis). There's literally no way to be offended by the game unless you like Nazis, and yet somehow people managed to get offended by it.

I am not familiar with the offensive gear, but sounds like its having its intended effect. We are in an outrage culture
where people look for reasons to be outraged, offended, victimized and if lucky can claim all of the above. All while thinking it will make them look "woke". My favorite is when they claim to be "inclusive, anti bigotry, hate" blah blah blah....but will wish death upon anyone with a different opinion.

Sounds like an interesting video.
So me pointing out how skateboarding has been accepting and inclusive equals me being a nazi?

This is good trolling. Refer to the reactions, yet feign ignorance when confronted with the cause for reaction. Nice!

peggy oku and shogo kubo.
jesse the mess martinez.
gonz.
tommy gorilla on the hills of sf.
a lot of the first and second wave heros were minorities.
chocolate and world made me think california was a melting pot [which it kinda is compared to east coast when i grew up].
skating has been really inclusive except for tim von werne getting kicked of birdhouse for putting from the rough.

They had also been making Wolfenstein games for 20+ years, all about killing Nazi's, no one gave a shit because Nazi's are the default bad guy, but since the rise of the alt right and the mobilization of gamers as a political bloc.
There's currently a big curfuffle about the new battlefield game letting you play as a woman, which is not realistic. Not a peep about the armored horses or the ability to sit on the wings of fighter planes from the last battlefield game.

Why did you make two threads about this topic? Are you not sponsored yet?.. everyone and their baby is getting sponsored. I ride for Walgreens now but was hoping to get on Rite Aid instead, was talking to the manager there and trying to show him my Instagram but he keeps running away from me. Any advice slap pals?

Skateboarding really does help individuals and changes them for the better. Changes in one's self is the only effective way to making the world better.

They were upset because, like BF5, the new Wolfenstein has twin women protagonists.

the fact that as an inclusive activity, skateboarding will reject the non-inclusive types, is only logical and not fallacious at all. just think about it a bit more.

with your original attitude, no matter your original intent with your 'statement', something else that's only natural is how bound you were to be lumped together with all the (shit-)posters who've been recently signing up just to post similarly sterile-looking, tongue-in-cheek threads ever since the Jason Jessee thing broke out. I like that you're actually trying to have a conversation now though.
what was I talking about? I'm just sick of skateboarding being branded as 'diverse', 'inclusive', 'free' or really just branded at all, by certain people who almost always resort to the same commercial reappropriation, distortion and corruption of otherwise meaningful important values when their bottom line really is just to manage to sell fucking shoes (or shirts) to whoever might not want them yet (and fuck anybody who really won't buy them, eventually; oh, and the persons who make them too while we're at it).
businesses waving those fake flags around are an insult to the positivity that's actually inherent to skateboarding without needing anyone to cash in on it. businesses that launch campaigns of fake apologies in the front and censorship in the back as opposed to approaching their problems reasonably are straight up disrespectful to their audience, in this case: skateboarders, and how less credible can a skate company get, even business-wise - since when has been biting the hand that feeds good marketing? if anything, the whole debacle only highlights how disconnected some of the most established and popularly iconic skate brands really are with the modern reality of skateboarding and thus, how sincere they really are towards it, the sum of the people worldwide who do it, and the people (again, worldwide) who actually still try to do something constructive for it.
of course businesses will be businesses, but you'll always have good businesses and bad businesses. I know I'm not buying anything from the ones that call themselves skate companies yet are so desperate to cover their mainstream asses as soon as something shady publicly blows up, they're willing to stab the very skateboarders in the back as soon as they stop accepting to surrender their money in exchange for a brainwash.
long post already but one last thing still, I don't believe anyone is 'wishing death upon' anybody really - besides the people who are obviously expressing such wishes, at least symbolically, and getting singled out for it, rightfully so.
