I know...”I’m white therefore I am racist...”

I get so ticked off I just want to oppress all of the Morenas who outnumber me in my immediate family. Oppress, oppress, oppress...I feel much better now though. Thank you....

Their's or someone else's?

Your world is what you tell your "self" it is.

Change your mind (your thoughts) and change your life.

Don't let the bastids get you down and don't do it to your own self, either!

One must ask why “psychologists” tend to be such whiny a**es. This is the usual garbage research churned out by these academicians on the public dole.

If this is the case, then explain why most sports stars are black. They seem pretty darn healthy to me.

Bull. I have a Hispanic neighbor - Sandra, who exercises on a regular basis. She is lean and slim. I see a lot of Hispanics who sit on their butt, eat fatty foods and are as big as a cow.

If you keep dumping water into a bucket, it eventually runs over. You have to burn the calories you intake every day, or you will get fat. The stereotype thing is just an excuse.

re: If only EBT cards took only the same foods mooch ordered on school cafeterias ...

That is not going to happen of course because EBT users are Democrat voters. They are Obama’s base. School children don't vote.

But I think it is a great idea. I don't think EBT users should be able to buy candy, chips, sodas, sugared cereal, fast food, etc with their EBT cards, paid for by you and me. If Michelle O is really interested in improving health in America she should be starting with the EBT card purchases, not with the school lunches. But she is not at all concerned about the poor and their diets, unless she can blame Republicans for it.

“When you are exposed to negative stereotypes, you may gravitate more toward unhealthy foods as opposed to healthy foods,” said Luis Rivera

When all you have to offer is speculation, there's something seriously wrong with your "study". Rivera needs to stop pretending he's a scientist and start looking for a job flipping burgers.

I think I read somewhere racism causes pimples too

Yep.

Racism causes zits, ashy skin, and frizzy hair.

Oh sure there are expensive junk foods, but there is also some that is very cheap, and very calorific. And remember poor unemployed people dont burn up the calories because they tend not to be very active.
