Skateboarding came from surfing, Hawaiians invented surfing, Hawaiians are colored people. The end.

[@mutualmonster]

Actually, surfing appeared in Samoa and Tonga about a thousand years before it showed up in Hawaii and the other eastern Polynesian islands. The point still stands, though: the deepest roots of skateboarding are in ancient non-white cultures. I'm a white guy and I'm telling everyone this all the time. Everyone needs to know. The whole "why are you trying to be [insert race or ethnicity]" thing is always weird when the people saying it don't know where a sport/athletic endeavor comes from. I've heard many variations of "why are you trying to be black" said to white guys playing basketball despite the fact that a white Canadian invented basketball to keep his white students fit. Everyone needs to know the origins of the sport/athletic endeavor they participate in. They also need to honor the specific individuals who created sport possible and take a second look at who they think really belongs, who "owns" the sport, and who's secondary/disposable/new/a joke/an exception to the rule. More knowledge, more respect, less ignorance, fewer assumptions.
