but you are from United Kingdom so I guess you all have something in common, hurray for u

We are fat becuase we have good dentists, Lol. Some British guy the other day said over the radio basically that your free dental is the same "free dental" inmates get. REMOVE DEM ALL!

1 more thing. Even fit people are considered fat becuase muscle puts them over the indexes for being obese. Me? I call mine natural body armor and it serves me better then the lowgrade kevlar I put up with.


I didn't understand a single word of this


You're not alone, brother.

Black people have a lower mean iq and are less educated on average. Education and IQ have a demonstrated positive correlation with obesity. This is the only evidenced link between being a black woman and being obese. I could formulate it statistically but I really can't be bothered.


This seems incredibly racist. But it's probably true.

Well if it's an actual fact that black people have lower iq on average then it's not racist by any stretch of the imagination. If it's not true and he just believes they have lower iq then he would problaby be uninformed. If he was told that it's not true but he keeps believing black people are inferior in that way, then it's racism I guess.

So black women are fat, yet it is known black people run faster.

Do you need to be fat to run fast ?

I actually found proof otherwise. That said a fat black idiot is more likely to steal food then any other demographic. Hispanics are the same across the board and fat white people use trickery.

i'm almost positive that an above-average rate of obesity in the black population isnt exclusive to women. i'm also pretty sure it has more to do with the accessibility of unhealthy food, and the relative inaccessibility of healthy food. i'm not saying it's impossible to eat healthily if you live in crown heights, brooklyn (for instance); i'm just saying you have to exert more effort to do so.

my opinion here is based completely off anecdotal evidence, so i reserve the right to change my mind given the proper evidence.

stop trying to make a political statement out of some completely inane issue.


My thoughts exactly.

There may exist a culture that likes a big bum, but that's different to being over 200lbs. They just eat crap and way too much of it.

No, white people are more likely to be fat then black men but less likely then the women.

It is true, but only because blacks tend to grow up in environments that don't foster the skills that iq tests measure. It's nothing genetic; there is more genetic variation within races than between. And it's not even a causal relationship, the whole iq obesity thing, I mean. You don't need to be adjusted to solving puzzles to figure out what happens when you eat a lot of junk.

There's no doubt that many cultures regard being overweight as positive - after all, for a long time it was a sign of affluence, and still is in much of the world.

As to this specifically. . .eh, don't really see it, but whatever, it's not beyond possibility as a reason. I suspect the fact that American black people are of a lower social class on average than other ethnic groups has a larger amount to do with it.

Yeah but couldn't you just eat less of it?

If the food is more calorific, eat less of it. Then "Calories In" < "Calories Out" and you lose weight.
