Exactly, a big butt doesn't mean unhealthy. It's more to do with genetics. Having a flabby, fat rear-end means unhealthy. A firm, large, butt isn't bad. There are black female tack stars with large butts. Are they unfit?

Blacks naturally have a larger waistline than Whites, it's been proven as the reason why Blacks run faster than Whites. Blacks have more muscle under the fat.

Didn't a national sportscaster lose his job a few decades ago for a very similar comment?

But are these women still considered overweight?

That map is terrible. How is 0-26% a legitimate range? The ranges should be 0-15%, 15.1-20%, 20.1-25%, 25.1-30%, and 30.1% and over.

Slim Mexicans? Maybe down on the border, but up here they are by and large fairly chunky.

That's what I'm thinking too.

I like how my Parish is sitting in white in the middle of a bunch of dark blue/black. The city is almost 40% black so Im not sure if that makes the real difference in obesity. Cajuns also love to dance and do outdoor activities, so that probably helps keep the weight down.
