Thank you for reading and responding, Georgia. I do agree that those with obesity-related health conditions should definitely work on treating their health problems. I really wanted to address the ways in which we see obesity overall as a health problem and not as a reality that some obese people can in fact be healthy.

As for this piece, you’re not out of place for responding. It does apply to you. According to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, women are classified as minorities. That’s why white women are most likely to benefit from affirmative action.
