This thread premise is teetering towards oppression Olympics. All that woman said in a nutshell is that more can be done to combat discrimination against people who are overweight. Of note she didn't mention just racism, but also gender and age discrimination which are all legitimate problems. People are capable of taking a stand against multiple blights in society simultaneously. Its petty to be offended over her comments and reeks of insecurity.

“(Some) people out there have racist attitudes and beliefs, but we’ve legislated it so that it’s more difficult for people to act on those biases.” she said. “We need to do similar things — just like we do with race, and gender, and age discrimination — with weight and body size, and obesity.”

With all due respect breh, I didn’t read one paragraph of the article.

I’m here for the platinum thread.

You are serving your purpose by contributing to the dialogue- and for that I appreciate you.

Truth is I dislike the mere fact that people are always comparing their “cross” to black people. Whether it’s homosexuals , Jews, fat pipo, wiypipo complaining about patriarchy, etc , etc.

Let’s fix this ‘Cism first.

Being fat is nobody's fault but your own, genetics factors into it but you can still control it. Race, age and gender on the other hand... CACs gonna CAC

Speaks volumes about how little they know/care about racism.

This is silly. Weight is a choice based on calories in/out, the color of your skin is what you're born with.

Thread title completely off.

She didnt say that fattyism is like racism. She just said that fattyism also needs legislation to protect fatties.

Enjoy your platt thread
