Frankly, regardless of the color of anyone's skin, I think a fair share of the blame should be applied to everyone of all denominations... I've seen guys as white as Casper litter the beach with their beer cans, and leave it as it is. I've seen asians all congregate on the beach with a lantern, fish all night, and leave everything behind. I've even seen black people take a dump on the beach under a bridge, and fish nonchalantly as if all is well with the world.
It just doesn't matter what color or race you are, the blame is to go all around.
I've been fishing for as long as I can remember, and I take pride in the fact that I clean up after myself when I'm done fishing. I even double-check to ensure that no fish heads or tails are left behind on the beach.
I've given friends who have gone fishing with us some flak for leaving trash behind, and Irefuse to leave until they pick up after themselves. And I continue to harangue them about it for a short period of time thereafter. And even if I'm in a friends' car barrelling down the highway, I'd give them crap if I see them toss stuff out the window.
Unfortunately, not everyone shares our ideals of a cleaner Mother Nature.
