University of Illinois Chicago wants to ban the word 'obesity' because focusing on body size is 'rooted in racism'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10829285/Woke-experts-warn-word-obesity-RACIST-suggest-people-larger-bodies-instead.html

Multiple woke academics now claim the word 'obesity' is racist and should be dropped in favor of 'people with larger bodies.'
The University of Illinois Chicago's school of public health published a health brief titled: 'Addressing weight stigma and fatphobia in public health' that explored 'the association between racism, weight, and health.'
According to Amanda Montgomery RD, public health's focus on preventing obesity has brought in an increase of negative attitudes towards 'people with larger bodies' - her preferred alternative term - and is currently one of the only socially acceptable forms of discrimination.

The brief claims that public health approaches related to obesity can be harmful because of the focus on one outcome - weight loss- and because it tends to ignore the root cause of the issue.
Academics say many of the causes are rooted in discrimination borne of settlers driving Native Americans off their land, then forcing black and Hispanic workers to farm that land for low pay.

But according to the brief the focus on body size is rooted in racism, claiming that previously a majority of societies actually favored larger bodies but that all changed due to racism and eugenics.

Montgomery wrote that race scientist, including Charles Darwin, created a 'hierarchy of civilization' that placed people of color, specifically black people, at the bottom, because they were considered to be 'less civilized which was justified by 'fatness' and other differing body characteristics.

These pussies are so stupid.

Show me an African culture of fatness. I don't mean an African country infected with western garbage, but a REAL African culture with fatties.

I'll wait.

Fat people are fat people. They're all gross, regardless of race. So it's pretty much the opposite of racism.

Look back at old paintings. It was Europeans who were fat. Asians, Africans, etc. were, generally, skinny. If anything, being fat shows racist privilege, as it means you are advantaged enough to be able to afford excessive amounts of food.

Ban what you like, while they’re at it, ban the health problems that come along with obesity.

Isn’t that how it works?

If obese is accurate than how is it racists? Height will be next since Asians are shorter.

I sure hope that it's still socially acceptable to discriminate against "people of stupidity" (a.k.a. 'POS'), such as Amanda Montgomery.

Who fucking cares what they do at the univeristy of Illinois

Have you been on a college campus in the last few years.

The white guilt
The BLM bullshit
The rainbow flags drapped on every single church steeple
The 'no Hate' here yard signs
I'll repeat again, the WHITE GUILT - its THICK

Brainwashed little faggots

Fuck fatties.

I honestly wouldn't care if they're fat or not, BUT my tax dollars and my insurance premiums are subsidizing their fat asses.

Healthy people shouldn't be forced to pay for the fatties' poor lifestyle choices.

Obesity is the #1 health issue in this country (and many other countries as well).

It does remind me of a mom and daughter I knew in college, who just happened to be black, but were also both morbidly obese. They walked in every day with two sonic bags each and a route 44 drink.

One day the mom was telling the daughter they'd just have to get used to all these white kids staring at them because they weren't used to seeing black people get an education. I wanted to point out how many black people were in the same room, and everyone was staring at their fat asses because they had enough food to feed the whole building.

But to them, it was only because they were black.

I prefer Land Manatee over Land Whale, because some whales look pretty svelte and athletic relatively speaking. I mean mantees can't get out of the way of a pontoon boat propeller, much like wal-mart hoverround drivers and diabetes.
