well racisim isnt just against skin color, if you read the wiki, and you read this line, "and/or generalizations about a specific group of people (stereotype)" you would know that.

"Racism" comes from the word "race" of which obesity is not one.

I don't care what wikipedia says.

since when is body size a race?

obviously you guys cant read. Racism is not just about skin color, it can include, religous believes, sexual orientation and or body size. as you are stereotyping someone and then labeling that group and forming an opinion toward that group.. which inturn is racism.

Good god this thread has gone to hell in a handbasket. We need to lighten things up as it sounds like things are starting to get more and more personal. Isn't this a Buckeyes Fan board? We are all Bucks fans here. A little debate/spirited conversation is never bad unless things get out of hand and start getting personal. Please, someone give me an I - O?!?!?!?

:oh:

Wikipedia is as accurate as the bozo who types the latest entry... if you're looking for an academic debate, try a well-regarded dictionary.

Main Entry: rac?ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

not sure, it could be a fine flight, it could be bombs, it could be they try to take over it.

I'm just saying if that ever happens, and you dont say anything, then its your stupidity and you would have no one but yourself to blame if something horrific does happen.
