Chris I have experienced racism here in the UK (in jobs), in Canada (when simply walking down a street), and in America (where I had to jump into a river to get away from rednecks in a pickup truck). I'm pretty up to speed with the whole racism thing, thanks. And I still feel STRONGLY that verbal predjudice against the fat, can be just as harmful. I'm black. And I'm fat. Differently to most, I'm really comfortable as I am, but not all are. If I feel that they are similarly hurtful and destructive, doesn't my life experience count for something?
