Maybe because some people are narrow-minded?. Some people DO like to generalize. It's the same as saying that ALL dominicans are unfaithful and ALL resort workers are sankies.
If all they see is fat and ugly Canadians, some will think that the whole country is "ugly country". If they see Canadians with sankies/sankettes some would think that ALL Canadians are the same. WE ALL know not all Canadian sankie lovers/victims are fat or ugly. Need proof, just go to the "Media Gallery" and you will know that I am talking about.
Some people DO look pass the "fat factor". There are some people that really DO see a heart and not a "weight". When I was much younger, about 70 years ago, my beloved Diane, God rest her soul, was the most amazing and beautiful person that I have ever met. When I looked at her I did not see that she was overweight, I just saw a very giving, loving and sainty human.
As a poster said, she thinks that "not all white, heavy-set women are perceived as beautiful" and I could not agree more. And as the same poster stated, yes, most people would see "greens" when they see a person, even if the person is fat.
When it comes to sankies/sankettes, they are a EOF (Equal Opportunity F'ers) organization. All are welcomed, old, young, fat, skinny, male, female, while, black, orange, martians, people missing a leg, an arm or their "privates". You have "greens", the sky's the limit, even if you are the ugliest or fattest person on God's green earth!!!!.
It amazes me that if you have "greens" you don't need a face lift, lose weight or find the "fountain of youth". All of a sudden you are, beautiful, not fat and are as young as a baby.
Rocky and CyaBye, take a number and get on line right behind the leader,
. Ever heard of Johnny Ventura's "La Protesta De Los Feos" (The Uglie's Protest) ?. I was the inspiration. I was only about 10 when they recorded it but somehow the knew ugly when they saw it,
Did I do good, OP?.
