Why are fat people discriminated against? (discrimination, difference)

[mistygrl092]

I've been every size of the rainbow. I know what it feels like to have doors held open for me at a size six. I also know what it feels like to be treated like crap at a much larger size. The difference is, I am STILL the same person on the inside. Circumstances led to one thing or the other.

So what gives and why is this?

When you have more rolls than a bakery there is a problem. People notice it and lose all respect when you get into a car and it turns into a low rider.

1) People are superficial
2) Weight gain is seen as being a lack of self control.

They look different, although technically they are the majority.

And how would you know what kind of problem this is?

When you have more chins than a Chinese phone book of course people are going to discriminate.

Yet when your bones are sticking out a la Angelina Jolie I guess there is no problem and no discrimination.

When you are so big that you show up on radar of course there is going to be discrimination.

You're good with the quips, but not with answering my questions.

A lot of people are jealous of the skinny girls: they will often tease them, too. But it's out of envy.

Nobody teases the corpulent food-monger out of envy.
