Is racism making you FAT? Victims of prejudice are at greater risk of obesity

Who is making excuses?

If you're fat it's because you probably can't take care of yourself. Not because of racism.

Well I guess if you're going to go the Republican route and ignore environmental and social factors we might as well start calling poor people lazy next I guess. If you wanna view outcomes in society as isolated with single causes, that's on you.

Not surprised. Stress and depression leads to overeating. Racism and discrimination only adds more fuel to the fire.

People are acting really about this, but it's relatively common to observe in animal paradigms in response to captivity, fragmentation, separation from kin, etc.

Link animals to black people brehs

this is not useless..... Minority populations in america disproportionately suffer from obesity and related diseases. AA women are the most likely group to be obese in the country. What this is is a piece of the puzzle. It lets us know that the reason these populations are suffering isn't just from genetics or diet, but also from social/cultural factors as well.

exactly! The article didn't say racism was the cause of obesity, just another contributing factor to add to the fat ass list of reason people get fat asses.
-access to healthy foods
-education
-health education
-cost of healthy food
-etc, etc, etc

...you know what though? The more I think about it the more the list above is created by racism in the first got damn place.

Maybe racism really does make people fat.

there are reasons and then there are excuses. Sometimes they are the same thing.
