'Bigotry of low expectations': New Yorkers link obesity rates to racism

Sky News host Rita Panahi reacts to "woke left" New Yorkers linking the rise of obesity rates in African Americans to racism.

"It's incredible how racist the woke left can be; it might be the bigotry of low expectations, but it's bigotry nonetheless," Ms Panahi said.

Not long ago I watched a large black woman go through a grocery store. She filled her cart with expensive junk food and snacks, things I’d never waste my money on, or even think of getting because they’re so bad for you. Her fat little kids were along, and began misbehaving, as kids will do. She took a bag of cookies from the shelf and gave it to them to keep them quiet. After they had eaten half the bag she put it back on a different shelf and finished her shopping. She paid for all that stuff with her government debit card, which is basically food stamps. That’s not racism, it’s stupidity.

A personal choice about what you eat is supposedly racist. If you want to know what is healthy to eat, read the label, or check innumerable web sites for healthy eating guides. So presumably reading is racist and the web is racist. The good thing about the young people in the video is that they live in New York, they deserve it.

Um people can be racist if they want it's a free country with freedom of speech. I don't agree with what they say or how they feel, but that is their right just as long as they don't physically harm or call violence upon said group.
