I really don’t understand Americans and their racial stuff. Why white?
Americans (especially non white Americans) tend to speak very frankly about race in a way that can make Europeans uncomfortable. In this context “white” is simply meant to conjure an image of someone with disposable income.
(See “black twitter”)
It still just sounds racist to me. The joke is that black people are poor?
The joke is that white people are so pampered they have to find absolutely insane sounding activities to have fun, like throwing yourself out of perfectly good airplanes, diving in caves, or walking the longest road on earth.
And to do so relatively cluelessly with the optimism that it will all work out fine because American, white, and money. Instagramming selfies with their kidnappers kinda thing.
It is racist. White people are the only people it’s politically acceptable to be racist about.
In the very loose meaning of “can walk”. This road crosses several dangerous areas for multiple reasons, from war and jungles, to deserts and tundra, not to mention all the visas you’d need.
Dude even excluding the human factors like politics, war, etc, the terrain would just be insanely rough and dangerous in basically every possible way
This route walks up the Nile and crosses the desert um Sudan. It then walks down remote roads in the DRC. It’s just so over the top insane.
