And unless I've missed it, the BNP don't particularly care who ate all the pies (as long as they're white, of course). I'm not going to be stupid enough to suggest that weight loss is easy, but if you're overweight, it's possible to do something about it. And yes, that's people's own choice, rather than something which should be imposed on them. But the health benefits alone are pretty obvious. As for sexuality, you are what you are. You don't get any choice in the matter. And ditto ethnic origin (unless you're Michael Jackson).

It is EXACTLY the same as racism and homophobia, ive seen people being picked on and hit because they were fat and were not seen to fit into the "norm". I think the posts were removed though and thats why there are none here now. Honestly cant believe people can complain about one bias and yet play down another, there plenty of reasons being fat may not be down to choice and some people may claim being gay is.

REALLY!!??? people being beaten up for being fat?? Jesus.
BTW being gay isnt a choice,coz Im sure there would be many less gay people in the world if it was.

Yes people often get picked on both physically and mentally for not fitting in. BTW being fat isnt a choice,coz Im sure there would be many less fat people in the world if it was. Im sorry you think gay people may not want to be as I doubt you would find many black people saying something along those lines.
