Fat people placed in their own group?

Do you think that over weight-fat people should be placed in their own "group" since 99% of over weight people are discriminated against and put through hate crimes and get rude remarks/ treated as 'Not Normal, Not Human, A waste of space."





Do you agree that fat people are discriminated against and are victums of hate more then gays, lesbiens, bi's, trangendereds, blacks, whites, reliogous and the handycap?





How many times in your life have you heard people making fun of a fat person? How many times have you made rude comments or put downs towards fat people?





Do you think you are BETTER then fat people? Do you think LESS of fat people? When will fat people have to no longer take the abuse they go through everyday? Would you HELP them fight for their rights as a human and to be treated equally?

Reply:I've been on both sides of this fence. Yes, heavy people are treated differently! Most of my life I've been "thin" and never really noticed how I was treated. Then I gained alot of weight. That's when I noticed how differently heavy people are treated. They are ignored, treated rudely, and passed over for even less attractive smaller people, not to mention how hard it is to find nice clothes. I can't tell you how many times I went home sad and weepy over this kind of treatment and had to take meds for depression even!! I have since lost the weight and I am now VERY conscience of how I relate to heavier people.....life lesson learned!!!
Reply:The discrimination occurs more often because it is socially acceptable to do it. It is not socially acceptable to insult someone because of their race, gender, sexuality, or religious persuasion, but fat people are fair game. People think it's okay to insult them because they look at the condition as self-inflicted, but they wouldn't think of talking the same way about someone who has lung cancer from smoking, AIDS, or skin cancer from indiscriminate tanning. It's not right, but it happens.
