True

False

More white supremacy crap?

I'm not buying it. First, there were/are plenty of fat white people. Second, there are plenty of distinguishing traits that racist Europeans could point to besides fatness.

And fatphobia means fear of fatness. Who is "afraid" of fat aside from not wanting to have a heart attack, get diabetes, or not be able to climb stairs, fit in a normal chair or have great sex?

It's understandable to be turned off by slovenly, "unfit" appearances. Although some guys actually like "thicc" women. To each their own. But it's cracking me up that fat slobs are now trying to equate a preference for fitness with racism of all things.

I'm still waiting on the horror movie "Fatphobia" as if people are fraud of fst people and not the consequences that come woth being obese. Or what other says about the person, or how much they care for or respect themselves. Being obese is like being an alcoholic. It's an addiction usually combined with depression. The thing with being very fat is that you're wearing your addiction or depression on the outside so it's for more pervasive. It's bad to be fat. That's coming from someone who was fat in middle school and some of HS and was teased. Did I love it? No. But it did help me change for the better. We can chalk it up to tough love since I was able to have a sense ofnhumor about it but for some I can see how it can be devastating. People judge, that's just how we are. Shame can be a good thing.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Eh, I'm not entirely sold on fatphobia being a thing.

Besides, white people through history are generally more fat positive. It used to mean you had enough resources to get fat.

I think it's a normal and healthy human condition to not want to be fat and instead to be healthy.

Fatphobia is rooted in industrialism. Fat people cost more, work less and more slowly, take up more space, need more fabric to cover them and more food to fill them up, need bigger and stronger furniture, and rack up more medical bills than skinny people because their health fails more.

If we assume that the wealthier and more corporate owners are white, then yes, it can be connected to that too.

Racism is awful by the way. Just because someone's parents did it closer to the North Pole, doesn't make it their best asset to show off. It's not something they earned by themselves. Doesn't make them better.
Plus, racists ruin it all for those nice kind caring hard working white people who are trying to make our society a better place to live by promoting equality. One bad apple...

[OlderAndWiser]

Is this copied and pasted from The Onion?

[Squaresquirrel]

There's no such thing as fatphobia.
But there are fat people who would call you fatphobic if you don't want to date them or tell them they are unhealthy. Because it is easier than to stop lying to yourself.
IT has nothing to do with racism.

[Anonymous]

Phobia- A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

I am not afraid of fat people. their laziness and excuses are not killing ME. Healthy at any size is lie that fat folk tell them selves so that those cupcakes slide down their throat easier.

[Oigit]

It's based in personal responsibility avoidance. Because Fatphobia is something that people can bale to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. Much like many things people can be very quick to shift the blame to someone or something else to avoid putting the blame where it belongs, the person they see in the mirror.

[JamesDiaz11]

No, black people just tend to be fatter (especially the women). According to the new breed of black supremacists (a la Ibrahm X Kendi), anything that disproportionately negatively affects black people is not only racist, it is intentionally racist (caused by "white supremacy").
By this same retarded logic, Math is racist, and a tool of white supremacy because black people aren't good at it- forget that Asians actually are good at it (unless they're occasionally "white").

[ODC2112]

There is no fat phobia is yet another narcissistic invention this time of fat people, to complain about your own pathological condition and blame others instead of taking responsibility for it.

The tendency to gain weight is not an ethnic problem, but it is a characteristic of poor people who cannot afford healthy food and who cannot afford other satisfactions than eating.

[Sincerly_KittyCat]

False, thats utter bs. Race has nothing do with the like or dislike of someone's weight. Its what some people deem attractive or not.

[Anonymous]

Black women are just lazy and fat and scared of broccoli spinach kale salads.


Has nothing to do with white woman.

There's a reason you don't see them. in the gym.

Asian people don't seem having a problem with going to the gym.

Middle Eastern don't seem to have problem.

[Snsl153]

A phobia is a fear, so no, I'm not worried that some fatty will sit on me and squash me.

[Wade12345]

Some races are just fat, and they over-eat and get an ass six feet wide from over-eating multiple times per day.

I don't want a fat, lazy slob who looks more like a hippopotamus than a human.

[NamerOfStars]

I think I'm going to start taking bets on how long it'll be before black supremacy gets linked to white supremacy. It seems the logical next step.

[Babygirl_S]

I hope you take a look at this (I feel the difference whenever I travel):

[MCheetah]

Stuff like this is why Poe's Law is a daily occurrence nowadays and I hate this timeline because of it.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

This is pure dumb peoples bullshit just to start more uninformed idiots screaming about something being racist again just to stir the pot.

[exitseven]

Just another thing the democrats are trying to blame on Trump. Righ after they say that he is a fat slob from eating too many quarter pounders.

[zagor]

What a crock. Have you seen people in Africa? Not a lot of fat people there.

If this article isn't a parody the writer is too stupid to hold any job beyond cleaning feces off of public toilets.

[Anonymous]

Sure! Because every problem IN THE WORLD is due to white supremacy and/or colonialism. Because that doesn't sound completely retarded at all!

It never ceases to amaze me how many people buy into that steaming load of horse shit.

[wiltonaimes]

total nonsense. so non-white people are more fatter inherently than whites? looooooooooool

pretty much most people around the world were thin, unless they had some metabolic problem or were lucky enough to afford overeating.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, because there's no such thing as grotesquely fat white women.

[Anonymous]

How could it possibly be anything else? Obviously, it must be racism.

[Kingofkings1992]

Definitely false. Fat phobia is just another way of being an asshole

[RolandCuthbert]

There is no such thing as fatphobia.

[Guy13]

Get a life…it’s because it does not look good.

[Dargil]

White people get fat too.

[Staximus]

That's the biggest load of bullshit

[joeldalton]

There's no such thing as fat phobia. fuckin a.

[fireforeffect]

Only a Racist would ask such a question!

[msc545]

nope. It is rooted in aesthetics.

[EnglishEuropean]

Where did you find this nonsense?

[notwoke]

for sure, everything is rooted in racism

[dorksided1]
