be careful black manMore big women for me.
every gym in America brehThe gym I go to even when it's packed theres only a few black chicks there at a time. Prolly less than 5. All kind of brothers though. White chicks everywhere. A few more mixed chicks too
My masseuse is obese and wheelchair bound. She lives a full life. Thin people die every day. Everyone’s body is different, and everyone carries weight differently. That is my point.
I can only speak for kreyol but you gotta be pretty fat before someone would say something like that. Id even argue 'gwo' is closer to big than fat.I know jamaicans and haitians have no problem have no problem calling someone 'big hooman" or "gwo fanm" which means big woman in patois and kreyol respectively.
Anecdotal but black women are not in the gym like that where I live. Lots of white women, decent amount of Latin women as well .
My girl is a FIT Puerto Rican who's in the gym 4-5 days a week along with home workouts, and admitted that some aspects of the gym can be intimidating for a female cause you got some dudes who get weird when they see a female in a commercial gym by the weights.

Its because of fatphobia, and with how racism and fatphobia are intertwined. I’ve seen more than a few black women, on TikTok and various other forms of social media, recount their negative experiences at these gyms. These gyms are littered with fatphobes who make disparaging remarks about black women’s bodies. Black female bodies are often unfairly critiqued, abused, and made fun of. The gym is yet another space where these types of things happen. It causes a lot of black women to shy away from even entering a gym. Its really sick. In a perfect world we’d have gyms specifically for black women to act as safe spaces for their bodies. Also, its important to remember that just because a person is obese doesn’t mean that they’re unhealthy, and so, these stats don’t mean much.
There’s Naomi Watanabe, but I think she may be an oddity.Asians are the most fatphobic people on the planet bar none. Blacks are the least. You think Asians are gonna let someone like a Lizzo represent them? Find me one fat kpop star.
In college we'd see white chicks out running all the time and ask why we never saw any black women doing the same
It's interesting that black men suffer from blood pressure problems so much more than white men (or white women) despite the same levels of obesity.
I wonder if it's stress/diet or something else
