National Review ^ | September 8, 2014 | Katherine Timpf

[Argus]

Or maybe it’s just genetics.

[Right Brother]

Sure it’s not because of climate change?

[chris37]

I see, so their own racism makes them obese.

Makes sense.

[Nevadan]

And here I thought that it was because of global warming. Boy do I feel silly.

[South40]

Culture plays a part and whites have little impact on the culture of minorities.

[Fungi]

No. They are fat because they have seen the second pause between the second commercial of The Outer Limits! Wow! What a concept!

[Pontiac]

I think I read somewhere racism causes pimples too

/S

[Cubs Fan]

liberalism the scapegoat philosophy

It’s always somebody else’s fault.

[Vanders9]

It seems a very convuluted way of getting racism into the picture. Its more likely because they are poor, and therefore eat cheap low-quality junk food, which has a lot of calories, which makes them put on weight, which in turn makes them obese. Once you get a taste for that stuff, its very hard to give it up.

[Pontiac]

“You may have a less positive attitude toward watching your carbs or cutting back on fast food, and toward working out and exercising,”

Dang

I eat poorly, don’t exercise eat way too much take out.

I must suffer from racism.

And all this time I thought I was just old and lazy.

What a bunch of grant seeking BS.

[mass55th]

If minorities are fat because of racism, that must mean that whites are fat because they’re racists.

[Secret Agent Man]

wow. we really spend money on absolute bullsh1t.

[UCANSEE2]

[Catmom]

It CAN’T be because of subsidized idleness...welfare, EBT cards, etc.

[Steelfish]

So this explains Michelle Obama’s racism- or does it refute the thesis since she’s against junk food. I am confused.

“When you are exposed to negative stereotypes, you may gravitate more toward unhealthy foods as opposed to healthy foods,” said Luis Rivera, the experimental social psychologist who conducted the study.”

Rivera needs to keep experimenting.

[lapsus calami]

 

Yup, it's an easy formula -

 

Minorities Are ( enter grievance here ) Because of _____________

 

a) racism

b) global warming

c) George W. Bush

 

[headstamp 2]

Because they are VICTIMS.

[mass55th]

Don’t forget, racism also makes black women straighten and color their hair so they look like white women.
