Are those activities typically considered "white" hobbies? I'm mean you rarely see minorities doing those things.

I know this black guy who likes to skate and the other black people (his friends) often tease and make fun of him for participating in a "white" sport.
 
I would say so, but there's reasons for it. Most minorities grow up in big cities, priorities and hobbies are different there.

I think that's where the stereotypes come from too, like black people can't swim, or play hockey, there's no rinks and pools in the hood :P

I didn't start surfing till i went to north carolina where almost everybody at the beach was doing it.
 
I mean, sports aren't really classified as race. But just as basketball and football are considered black guy's sports because a lot of the athletes in basketeball especially are black. I mean, me myself, I don't do anything of them because I can't swim, I'm afraid of heights (once my feet are 5ft off of the ground) and I'm prone to panic attacks. But my friends (who are black) do enjoy doing some of that stuff.
 
I guess you could say that...I don't know any black people that do those things. But I'm sure there are some black people that do this stuff.
 
I don't know any blacks who enjoys ANY outdoor sports. Black folks are NOT AT ALL adventurous and are collectively pretty much narrowminded when it comes to doing things that are considered "outside the box"
 
Ah goodness. That's people for you!!! It's more of a culture thing really. If a white guy dresses in hiphop clothings other whites will look down at him. That's what your friend is experiencing. I can't stand people who want their own race to act this way. People are individuals with their own personality. If someone decided to do this they shouldn't complain, It's the guy's decision to skate...it's not like it's affecting his black friends or something. Maybe they "his friends" wish they could skate like him so they get jealous and stuff!

So to answer your question. I guess they are considered white sports!!! <--but that is the American thing. Like soccer in America most players would be white. But world wide soccer is very popular in Africa (mostly blacks) and Europe (whites). So it depends which country you're from.
