The University of Illinois – Chicago says the word ‘obesity’ should be banned because it’s ‘rooted in racism.’ Never ones to let facts get in the way of their arguments, social justice warriors are plowing ahead toward Orwellian newspeak setting their sights on removing “obesity” from the lexicon because “weight stigma” is a social justice issue.
BizPacReview The University of Illinois Chicago’s (UIC) School of Public Health is one of many woke institutions now promoting the narrative that “fatphobia” is the last condoned form of discrimination, and unsurprisingly in the age of critical race theory, that it is “rooted in racism.” In an UIC health brief authored by registered dietician Amanda Montgomery, the term “larger bodies” is introduced to supplant obesity as a case is made against the stigmatization of fatness.
“Fatness [was] used as a marker of ‘uncivilized behavior’ while thinness was ‘more evolved.’ This idea was maintained throughout the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries, as a way to justify slavery, racism and classism, and control women through ‘temperance,’” Montgomery wrote.
