Default Re: Are you prejudiced against fat people?

ore specifically, let's take this example. I have two resumes that look similar in terms of backgrounds, experience, etc. I walk into the room where they are waiting and I find:

a black guy and a white guy - I won't hold a preference towards either

a short guy and a tall guy - Again, no preference

a fat guy and an in shape guy - Not having anything to do with health insurance costs or sick days or any specific things having to do with health, I will have an innate bias against the fat guy in a sort of "I'd prefer having the other guy around than the fat guy" way.

This of course assumes that neither of the resumes has an obviously Jewish last name.

You are concerned with health care costs and sick days, yet aren't predjudiced towards blacks?
