If it is racism to say that people should lose weight...
...it is also racism to say that I should have to think being fat is sexy. I can think anything is sexy or not that I please, and to berate me for that is bigoted. I'm sorry, there are just some places I like putting my face more than others when it's ninety degrees and humid out. I was born that way, and if you don't like it, it's discrimination.

3. Oh, that...
Yeah, I saw that and assumed they'd made some joke about racist stuff. If they didn't, then that thread is even crazier than I thought it was!

8. I think
you can be prejudice against "fat" people, but not racist.
I haven't seen the show, so have no idea.

7. "Bigoted" doesn't mean "racist"; it means "discriminatory"...
in the most negative sense. This talk of racism makes no sense at all.
