Sick of hearing about Detroit
The US media is making much of this story:
http://www.freep.com/news/locway/fatcit3_20040103.htm Detroit has eclipsed Houston as the "fattest city" in the USA by those cultural and health experts at Men's Health magazine. I note that both of those cities have large African-American populations. African Americans are generally larger either for genetic, cultural, or economic reasons. I'm sick of hearing this story. Why is this news? -- Eva Whitley Come to Balticon May 28-31, 2004 with Guest of Honor Lois McMaster Bujold. http://www.balticon.org for details. |

Why is this news? Well look at it this way -- if Nathaniel "Skipper" Jones had been about 100 pounds or so lighter, he'd certainly be still alive today. So it pays not to allow yerself to balloon to the weight of the typical NFL lineman. Unless of course ya really *are* one. |

It is a proven fact that ******s are not only fat but they are ugly, lazy, and smell bad too: ******s are fat, lazy, ugly, and smell bad. FACTS: ******S ARE FAT: Among women, 34% of non-Hispanic whites, 52% of non-Hispanic blacks, and 50% of Mexican Americans were overweight Reported by: Div of Health Examination Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics; Div of Nutrition and Physical Activity, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, CDC. Mexican Americans are the ethnic group with the highest levels of obesity. Blacks females are the single group with the highest percentage. However, a study of Native Hawaiians produced obesity levels not matched by any other ethnic group in the United States. http://courses.unt.edu/phed1000/mcdrp/tsld031.htm FIFTY PERCENT - that's right, half - of Black women are considered to be overweight. The data comes from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which has conducted this study for years. http://www.msnbc.com/news/819867.asp?0dm=C23JN ******S ARE LAZY: African-Americans or Blacks Highest mortality rates and risk factor prevalence CVD Lung (Men) and Prostate Cancer Diabetes Cigarette Smoking Hypertension Physical Inactivity Overweight (females) This data comes from the BRFSS study of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Coalition seeks better health for area's blacks By Bill Snyder / Tennessean Staff Writer Blacks in north Nashville die from heart disease and diabetes at significantly higher rates than do whites or African-Americans in other parts of the country, health statistics show. Part of the reason has to do with their lifestyle -- a 1998 survey by the Metro Health Department found that a relatively high proportion smoke, don't exercise, are overweight and have high blood pressure. ******S ARE UGLY (even other ******s think so) BEAUTY FACT #45: The January l986 issue of the journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies, "Skin Color Preference, Sexual Dimorphism and Sexual Selection: a case of Gene-Culture Co-evolution?" by Peter Frost and Pierre Van der Herghe, stated that in any given race, the women tend to have lighter complexions than the men. Using standard ethnographic files from 51 societies on five continents which have recorded their preference for human skin color, the study found that 30 preferred lighter women and 14 preferred lighter women and lighter men. The cultures of India, China, Brazil and Bali, as well as the Arabs and Negroes regard the lightest women as the most beautiful. --perpetuating the aesthetic appeal of the ivory-skinned, rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed, blond "nordic ideal" of feminine beauty- -even though they themselves do not possess the genetic capacity to reproduce such an organism. Over time, the study said, the upper classes of all races have become lighter-skinned than their fellow countrymen because they have repeatedly skimmed off fairer women from the lower classes. (Also see #11) FACT #46: Scientific research on what constitutes human beauty, in which 300 judges of various backgrounds were shown portrait photographs and asked to rate the beauty of the individual's face, has revealed that nordic Whites are universally recognized as the most attractive humans, even by Blacks.

APA Monitor, p. 33. http://npin.org/pnews/1998/pnew398/pnew398b.html Ever since the 1930s, when psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark first conducted their doll preference studies, psychologists have known that children as young as three will often reject playing with Black dolls in favor of White-looking dolls. Researchers since then have found that the phenomenon is both short-lived and easy to manipulate. In 1975, psychologists Albert Roberts, Kathleen Mosley, and Maureen Chamberlain found that, while 40 percent of the three- to four-year-old Black girls thought that the blue-eyed White doll was "prettiest," by ages six and seven, only 23 percent did. And in 1988, psychologist Darlene Powell-Hopson and her husband, Derek Hopson, reported that preference rates for Black dolls could be dramatically increased by repeatedly pairing positive words, such as pretty and nice, with Black dolls rather than White dolls.
