Default Re: Are you prejudiced against fat people?

El D,

I have more of a problem with younger fat people, than older fat people. Probably because at a younger age your ability to stay in reasonable shape is much greater, due to better metabolism and much more free time. Barring any medical issues, there isn't really any excuse not to be in reasonable shape. Not athlete shape or super skinny, just reasonable shape.

If I were to have an interview with two identical paper candidates, and upon meeting them, my prejudice at first glance would be more against a young fat person. A young in shape person and an older out of shape person would not have an impact on me. A young hot in shape female, would of course be number one, as they just boost morale, and make me happy [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]!

Deciding that fat people are some kind of lazy doesn't really qualify under this definition. You HAVE facts to base your opinion on, the guy weighs 300 lbs.

If you think fat people are bad drivers or whatever, yeah, it falls under the umbrella of prejudice. This is just normal judging of people, and there's nothing wrong with it.

I am somewhat. For example, if IŽd have to pick between thin and fat person in recruit situation, IŽd pick thin person even if he/she is a little behind with experience or so. I think fatness tells about lazyness in general. Sorry, just answered the question.
