Why is it ok to call people skinny but not fat? - Jessica - 03-24-2014 10:37 AM
It's the same thing, just the opposite. It's like rich and poor. Like what's wrong with being fat

Haha, would they prefer if we called them obese?

It is not okay to refer to people's body in either case.

It's not the same thing.

Weight is not important as long as u r healthy.

being fat is unhealthy and so is being too skinny

what's wrong with being fat? health problems and it's unsightly.

It's rude to call someone either.
There are just more people who are overweight than there are underweight, and majority rules, so it's more acceptable to insult the minority than the majority because fewer people are offended.
That doesn't make it "okay" in either case, though.
