I live in a predominantly Hispanic area of SoCal and when you go camping or hiking it is actually predominantly Hispanic people. Last time I went to a big established campground me and my friend were the only white people there. We even saw a strange sort of outdoors Catholic service complete with mariachi music.

As for outdoor sports, they are expensive. Certain minorities have less money than us white people on average. They can't afford it. My friend Oscar works 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, with no overtime pay. He ain't got time to climb a mountain, he's got to feed his little ninos. That's not right, but it's an issue with the American system, not climbing. At the local climbing gym there are shit tons of Asian people. Most of the Asian people around here are recent immigrants, but they were well off before coming to this country. They live in the nice houses, go to the nice schools, and come to the expensive climbing gym. My parents were actually immigrants, I'm first generation, but we had enough money to enjoy some luxuries. As with so many other things in America, it's really more of a class issue than a race issue or immigrant issue. It's just that certain races on average belong to a lower class. There are things we can and should do to change this. None of them have to do with rock climbing though.

As for skiing, come to Mountain High one hour from LA. Not so many black peole living in Aspen, so you don't see many skiing. Plenty of black people in LA, so there's plenty of them skiing at Mt High. Outdoor sports areas tend to be far away from urban centers. Minorities tend to live in urban centers. Too far to drive.

Also I don't think it's that important of an issue to be honest. The outdoors and outdoor sports are a big part of my life and so, so important to me. To some people though, they aren't. That's ok. The real issues are socio-economic. The issues are things like American manufacturing moving overseas, not white people making minorities feel uncomfortable in the outdoors.
