It is so big fat colored women can claim they are "discriminated" against.
Anyone who has seen TV commercials lately sees these gross big fat bronze hippos parading their gigantic booties around for Target, Amazon, Marshall's, etc.

As an observation, black women are severely underrepresented when an interracial couple are portrayed.

Is it any wonder why even black guys don’t want them?

I don’t walk around making fun of overweight people.
I don’t call them names.
I don’t judge. It’s not my place.
But, if some major advertiser shoves an overweight, unhealthy person in my face and says: “She’s beautiful! This is what beauty looks like!”
It is at that point that I say: “She’s fat, she’s ugly, and it makes me angry to have to look at her as some kind of icon.”

“Risks?”, present or future tense?
Too late, it’s already toxic.

It’s all a fraud...and most consumers are too cowed and intimidated to call it what it is.
To: ClearCase_guy
Why don’t you not buy from those companies?
To: Governor Dinwiddie; nickcarraway
Meaning, “Ugly fat women don’t want be be considered ugly fat women.”

You might want to check the statistics. The majority of white men and women are overweight.

Sales of Walmart Grocery Scooters will increase dramatically. Just be careful turning the corner at the end of the aisle.

“Body positivity” means “celebrate morbid obesity”.
