He is suggesting that a normal physical trait for her ethnicity is actually a sign of obesity and she should not be talking about health and food. He is further suggesting that a small booty is the norm and the only one that determines health and thinness. In his feeble and little mind, the small booty is the gold standard. That is racism. Until you all get that concept, we will be having these conversations well into the future. Racism - a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. This is precisely the opposite of what the man said, i.e., that her fat butt was a result of the way she eats. And for all you know, it IS. But he didn't even acknowledge the existence of a trait or characteristic related to her ethnicity, let alone, suggest that it somehow affected her achievement or lack of it. As I said, you do not understand the meaning of the term. Which makes sense, because you run around here spouting racism all the time and don't even know you're doing it.
