If discriminating on the basis of race, religion and creed is not acceptable, is it acceptable to discriminate on the basis of appearance (overweight/underweight)? If so, why is it acceptbale to you? Conside this: if you were obese or severely underweight and constantly maligned for your physical appearance, would you agree with those that sought to discriminate against you because of how you look?
And yes, this is a reality for many people- overweight individuals are not treated in a respectful manner, do not get the same pay as the healthy counterparts for the same jobs and are generally passed over for promotions (gender studies will enlighten you on this subject.)
