Fat Bigotry

Materials
  1. -Bias, Prejudice and Attitudes (IAT Corp and Tolerance.org - Greenwald and Banaji) star
      Provides a test of attitudes regarding age, race, gender, and obesity. Your responses are measured by your speed of associations. Most of us do have biases (preferences) that may conflict with our values. Biases can work invisibly and give us a tendency to treat others unfairly (with prejudice). By uncovering our biases, we can combat our prejudices more effectively. 9-05

Papers
  1. Obesity - Fat Acceptance (NAAFA)
      The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance provides news, monitors legal actions regarding discrimination, and provides suggestions to improve acceptance of obesity. 6-01

  2. Plus-Size Parties (ABC News)
      "Thirty percent of adults in America — that's about 59 million people — are now considered obese. As the nation's waistline grows, so do the number of plus-size parties, where large men and women confidently show off their curves." 6-05

  3. Politics of Obesity (Slate.com)
      "In the war on fat, fat isn't just winning, it's crushing the opposition. A new study reports that in the course of a lifetime, 9 out of 10 men and 7 out of 10 women are going to become overweight. The CDC says that a third of the country is currently obese. This puts a large portion of the nation's population in an unenviable predicament, since antipathy toward the fat, it's frequently remarked, is the last sanctioned form of bigotry." 11-05
