No it's not but it reinforces a negative rather than tolerant philosophy, and stop beating the obese tree that was not the only definition of people studied in the published article.
It doesn't say that fat kids should be sent to the gulags no but as a negative I very much doubt that it helps them from bullying and the like at school. I have to say that I'm not perfect either and do laugh at others expense but I do know there's a line and when I've crossed it. I kinda like this:
Give up, just quit, because in this life, you can't win. Yeah, you can try, but in the end you're just gonna lose, big time, because the world is run by the Man. The Man, oh, you don't know the Man. He's everywhere. In the White House... down the hall... Ms. Mullins, she's the Man. And the Man ruined the ozone, he's burning down the Amazon, and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank! And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV! So don't waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome 'cause the Man is just gonna call you a fat washed up loser and crush your soul. So do yourselves a favor and just GIVE UP!
Or perhaps:
Tomika: [explaining why she is nervous] They'll laugh at me.
Dewey Finn: What? Why would they laugh at you?
Tomika: I dunno... because I'm fat.
Dewey Finn: Tomika... Ok, you've heard of Aretha Franklin right? She's a big lady. But when she sings, she blows people's minds! Everyone wants to party with Aretha! And, you know who else has a weight problem?
Tomika: Who?
Dewey Finn: Me. But when I get up there and start doing my thing, people worship me! Because I'm sexy, and chubby, man.
Tomika: Why don't you go on a diet?
Dewey Finn: Because I like to eat! Is that such a crime?
As for you PJ you said you get the point and I respect you enough to understand that you do, regardless if we agree or not or if anyone else does it doesn't matter to me. What matters is that a view point is expressed or countered which everyone is entitled to do. I don't want anything from you I was just answering txa's question.
