the word ‘obesity’ is racist
Have we reached peak stupidity yet?
*******
I hesitate to agree because every time I think we have, a fresh batch of idiocy such as this comes along.

Raycisss ?? Are there no fat White people in the writer’s world?
While I am only about 8-9 pounds over the ‘ideal’ weight for my age, I know several folks that would break the scale should they ever get on one.

said, "I guess all fat people can claim to be black now."
exactly. Which makes it racists. Though reverse from what they're claiming. It makes them racists for saying non-whites are fat.
The left is all about projection.

Leftist world view is based on group think.
In their head most whites are not fat which makes that group not fat. Visa-versa with non-whites. This makes them racists for thinking that. They call us racist because their game is projection.

The English were being racists when they called one of the kings of France Charles the Fat.

Instead of “obese”, how about “differently formed”?

Huh? All races get fat.
Except Ethiopians and Somalis.
Is that racist?
Or are Ethiopians and Somalis poor hunters (vegan)?

Changing the word doesn’t change the person. That airline seat is still that size.

If the people at Soul Fire Farm really believe that this is stolen land they should deed their land to the nearest tribe and return to their ancestral homeland.
Hypocrites all.

then let them go by the 0prah scale, where their weight is some multiple of the BIG 0...
like 2.3 0prah’s or .75 0prah’s, something they can relate to
