"I started walking down the street and within 10 seconds, a trio of people looked at me, snickered, looked me right in my eye and started pointing and laughing in my face,"

If she thinks the discrimination is bad for fat people, try being a white male.

Ya get used to it sweetheart.

I agree, one gets used to it, but, it's not easy.

I should know, I get those same stares, snickers, and fingerpointing from people, and I'm not obese. I just happen to have been born with cerebal palsy, from the waist down.

"I started walking down the street and within 10 seconds, a trio of people looked at me, snickered, looked me right in my eye and started pointing and laughing in my face," the talk-show host said. "And I had no idea it was that blatant."

There are some people like me who make a point to be especially polite to people like that, they appreciate it and hopefully it makes up for some of the rudeness they encounter.
