So now Obesity = BIPOC Fat? Give me a break. Instead of worrying about hurting feelings with words, fix the actual problem.
More nonsense … never to be confused with rational thought.
Middle-aged white guy here… And, I technically fall into the obese category. Hmmm. Does that make me a minority?
UIC is a bad joke — bulldoze the whole campus and put the casino there
IDK, it used to be a solid state university of mostly blue collar kids going on to form a lot of businesses in this city. Some time in the 90s they decided they needed to be a “cool” university and started hiring whackos, militants and freaks to try and out lib coastal uni’s. Recall that they hired terrorist Bill Ayers, with our tax money mind you. Personally I think all the state uni’s got taken over from within and a great purge is needed and welcome.
as crime goes throught the roof, stock markets crashing into recession today, etc..this is what the out of touch state university types with their guaranteed deals have to worry about??
Don’t forget that the sea levels are NOT rising the U.S. is sinking due to all the obesity.
No, the word obesity is rooted in fat.
I tend to be a cynical fatalist. I’m more worried about UFOs! It’s the new mid term scam for November; Mars Attacks! Martial law. UI looking for victims to exploit. They want to recruit the largest possible. Tuition won’t be based on credit hours but weight. Git them big ladies$
A fat b***h says What?
Thin white person blames obesity on racism, ignoring the fact that there are thin minorities and fat white people. This sounds like a Babylon Bee article.
The left is just totally exhausted and out of ideas. However, stupid stuff like this is really valuable and needs to be publicized, as it slowly starts to discredit all leftist ideas and helps people who are not political realize these people are insane.
