Americans don't respect fat people? How can you generalize like that? All countries discriminate against overweight citizens to some degree.

Yay, another blanket statement!! I haven't seen a good stereotype question for about five whole minutes now!
People are people, regardless of location. Some have respect for those who earn it, some don't respect anyone. Some don't like skinny people, some don't like overweight people, some are rational enough to not judge someone based on their appearance, some are bitter enough to dislike everyone.
You can never successfully judge an entire group by a few examples .... truth never deals in absolutes.

They don't respect themselves. Why should I show them respect? I'm tired of people blaming their obeseness on their parents, family, friends, school bullies. YOU'RE FAT BECAUSE YOU EAT TOO MUCH!!!! Period. End of story.
I'm not a cynic. Let me ask you a question, What else makes people fat? Don't even try to say Thyroid disease.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to be PC. A lot of American's are unhealthy and it is no one's fault but their own. No one else is throwing food down their throat. Eating healthy and working out regularly is the only way to not to get fat. You have to work for it. No one is going to hand it to you.

I am fat, and people hate me. And i hate myself too. Sometimes you cant help being fat if your sick and have problems, but it doesnt matter, people will still hate you. I think its because most people are vain, and dont follow God's word. All the world cares about are looks, and if your fat like me, then you die miserable.

Being fat is asociated with comedy. Were almost conditioned into not taking fat people seriously. Having said that, being taken seriously has a lot to do with confidence. If your confident people will take you seriously whatever size you are.

Because most of Americans are a wee bit on the Tubby side themselves...and they hate themselves..so they take their anger out on anything / anyone they can..
