Why is racism worse than fatism

[pottert]

I maybe opening the biggest can of worms the world has ever known but who decided that racism is worse than everything else.

What is the difference between the colour of somebodys skin & the size of somebodys skin.

Making a reference about skin colour is a no no but referring to somebody with a weight problem is not treated with such outrage.

WHY

 

[DerbyGull]

You can change your weight, you can't change colour.

 

[brightn'ove]

because people do not choose to be black?

 

[Stoo82]

because people do not choose to be black?

[Gwm]

You can change your weight, you can't change colour.

Michael Jackson did !

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Because Racism effects the whole human race,where as fatism only effect Fatima Whitbread......

 

[brightn'ove]

ok. what about ginger people.

erm was that the question?

 

[DerbyGull]

Michael Jackson did !

Nah, he said he caught a disease that turned him white...and his sister janet...and la toya..

 

[Bigbelly]

Jackson.

 

[pottert]

I only gave 1 senario.

Calling a gay man a fagott is that racism
Calling a Londoner a cockney is that racism
Calling a Liverpudlian a scouser is that racism
Calling a Welshman a taff is that racism
Calling a Scotsman a jock is that racism
Calling a Irishman a paddy is that racism

Yes it is in my opinion so why are those tags accepted.

WHY

People have DIED because of racism.

 

[BrickTamland]

People have DIED because of racism.

All types of minority groups have died because of discrimination due to people like Hitler, Stalin and Mugabe. IMO all discrimination is as bad as each other, discrimination against black people is no worse than discrimination against any group it's just much more highlighted in society due to what it used to be like in the past. Just my opinion of course. *awaits to be branded a racist*

 

[slimes]

People have DIED because of racism.

people have died because theyre fat. so your point is ??

 

[pottert]

People have DIED because of racism.

People have died crossing the road but driving a car is still allowed.

If a skinny white man calls an overweight black man a fat bastard, that will be seen as a racist comment.
If a skinny black man calls an overweight white man a fat bastard,it will be seen as just an insult.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

because people do not choose to be black?

Or white. Racism swings both ways.

 

[liamsfc]

a) People can't change their race.
b) Being fat is an objectively negative thing. There is nothing wrong with criticising negative things.
c) Racism has caused hundreds of years of widespread suffering and extreme, unimaginable hardship for millions upon millions of people. "Fatism" causes some overweight children to sometimes get a bit upset.
d) "Fatism" ensures people get healthy and stay healthy. Racism just leads to hurt and suffering.

 

[pottert]

Don't get me wrong I'm not a racist but it seems that society can attack all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons as long as it's not the colour of their skin.

It has to be all or nothing in my opinion.

 

[liamsfc]

Stupidest (and only) defence of racially motivated murder I've ever heard.

If a skinny white man calls an overweight black man a fat bastard, that will be seen as a racist comment.

No it wouldn't.

What a load of bollocks


You think that calling overweight people fat bastards will turn them into healthy eating fitness freaks.
You couldn't be more wrong.people eat to make them feel better so when somebody insults them what are they going to do?

YES. EAT
