Default Re: Are you prejudiced against fat people?

The point is you have no idea what the *meaning* of his being fat is, by merely looking at him, and therefore are making an error in assessing his moral character based on scant information.

That's why they call it a "prejudice".

Also

I'd say I only have a prejudice against the truly massive. My parents are both obese, as is my grandfather (as in, all > 40 lbs overweight), so it's been around my whole life. People who pant walking to the fridge are gross, and should do something about it. If you can operate a normal life that includes the occasional stairs without panting, I have no problem with you.
