Default Re: Are you prejudiced against fat people?

[ QUOTE ]
All,

This thread shows that the majority of people around here definitely are biased against fat people. However, when overweight people post threads about trying to get in shape and change their lifestyles, people are generally very helpful and supportive. Which leads me to believe that the core bias here really is against laziness, not fatness.

el d,

couldn't one posit that this means that society hates fat people and wants to be rid of them through either slimming them down or ignoring them/hating them?
