Are you prejudiced against fat people?

[El Diablo]

good,

"that they just don't care about being fat."

See, even though it doesn't really hurt me in any way, I can't help but feel a negative bias towards people like this.

[prohornblower]

I'm prejudiced against male genitalia.

Alobar,

Somewhere in the middle of your two sets of characteristics.

No. I hate Did's for other reasons.

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Thin People compared to Fat People."

I have a pretty strong distaste for fat women. Fat guys can bother me too when they start doing fat guy things like eating really loud, farting, smacking their lips, or walking around without their shirt on.

I hold pretty much all the prejudices, but I am quick to change my opinion if the facts change.

Actually, by those definitions, I don't think any view I hold is irrational or unreasonable, so maybe they aren't prejudices at all.

Negative in what way?

I don't think its irrational to dislike someone for disregarding their health, as long as that dislike is not too intense. It's simply you making a having a preference against what you see as their lack of character. Their would be nothing irrational about disliking someone who is mean, right?

However, it is irrational and prejudicial to jump to conclusions about the fat people that do not follow from deductive reasoning.

Is anyone seeing the distinctions I am trying to draw?

Dislike =/= prejudice, unless the dislike is based on some irrational conclusion. (example: Disliking pedophiles is rational and not prejudice. Disliking all black people because you think all black people are lazy is prejudice)

Making irrational assumptions = prejudice

[Homer]

I am prejudiced against people who:

- Live in Manhattan

- Drive a Jetta

- Smoke

- Majored in marketing

...probably 50 other things I can't think of at the moment.

How fat are we talking here? Soft, or obese?

[JP OSU]

I am fat and even I am prejudiced against fat people... I need to get less fat.
