Default Re: Are you prejudiced against fat people?

mm,

I'm neither tall nor white, but I don't think that has much relevance here. You could pick just about any other factor male/female, gay/straight, whatever, and I don't hold the kind of natural bias that I do against fat people.

I think the difference is that with fat people I find at least some part of me thinking "How the f does he let himself get like that?" or "How the f can that guy stand to be like that?" which doesn't come into play in any of the other things mentioned like height/race/gender/etc.
