“What kind of sorcery is this?” [full video]
The documentary ‘Sherpa’ captures an intense battle between Sherpas and entitled Western climbers—including one very racist American.
When disaster struck Mount Everest in 2014, an unprecedented avalanche wiped out 16 Sherpas but left dozens of wealthy Western climbers untouched. Mourning evolved into a Sherpa strike, and deep-rooted tensions erupted after more than half a century bubbling below the surface.
Who better to showcase the racial standoff than a privileged white American?
This kind of racism is common when westerners come to Nepal actually. They have a sense of privilege they believe they should be bestowed here.
Some had the audacity to tell me that Nepal shouldn’t develop because of the pollution and how they “aren’t able to enjoy the nature and smoke weed” here. Yes, many of the people who travel to Nepal indeed do have a hippy lifestyle yet they don’t truly understand the culture nor try to. It’s saddening to see.
As for words about climbing Everest. Many of you don’t know that much of that money doesn’t even go to helping the Sherpa who guide you or the local community as much as you want to think it does. Much of it is spent on climbing gear (expensive ones), food, plane tickets, and travel expenses, non of which help the community but rather the already wealthy businesspeople.
The money spent on Everest is regarded as “wasted money” because it is spent on a one time products.
That same money from one climber can truly help to change the Sherpa’s community and way of life, yet the westerners that go don’t ever really care about it. These individuals risk their lives so you can have your little moment of ‘glory’ and yet you don’t truly appreciate the life threatening work they do.
