So I just read the article-he was poking fun at southerners more that he was at fat people. No one jumped to the defense of those who speak with a southern accent.
We, as a group, are not a protected class.
Since about 1865 or so..............
I don’t think he was poking fun....he was showing his typical liberal disdain for southerners.
Only Hollywood is allowed to make fun of fat people if they so choose, without a word being said. Case in point - Big Bang Theory. It’s actually quite mean and sad that everyone has no problem ridiculing Mrs. Wolowitz, including her own son.
