Obese people are now officially a protected group in New York City after Mayor Eric Adams signed a controversial discrimination law.

A new bill signed last Friday makes it illegal for employers and landlords to discriminate against someone based on their weight or height when it comes to hiring them or securing housing.

The law - which comes into effect November 2 - means weight and height are now added to the list of protected categories that includes traits such as race, sex and religion.

Well technically the Giants are in New Jersey but maybe I need to look into if I was discriminated against when I tried out for the Yankees

I knew this shite was coming.

The more "victim groups", the better for Democrats.

These motherfrickers will do anything to keep and grow their power.

Is it because I’m black?

Is it because I’m gay?

I remember years ago there was a fat stripper complaining that she didn't make as much money as the other girls. I think it was a reddit thread, I can't remember. But basically saying she worked "just as hard" as the other girls and it was *discrimination* that the men didn't tip her as much.

She's 100% correct. We've raised entire generations to believe that any and all discrimination is or should be prohibited by law. Between two private parties it should be legal for any reason, or none at all.

Protected classes are a cancer and the Civil Rights Act should be largely gutted.

This is hilarious, I remember a thread 3 or 4 years ago where SFP said this exact thing would happen in the slippery slope the left/SJW “causes” were on.

Once fatties are protected, truly only pedophiles are left for “progress”

A quote from the mayor -

quote:

“Science has shown that body type is not a connection to if you’re healthy or unhealthy,” he said. “I think that’s a misnomer that we’re really dispelling.”


OK, so let's randomly take 1,000 people of each gender over 300 pounds, and 1,000 people of each gender of less than 150 pounds, and measure their BP, triglycerides, cholesterol, A1C, and fasting blood glucose. You will undeniably see drastic differences in their metabolic and cardiovascular health based on these metrics alone.

They are literally contorting axiomatic scientific fact into their own little delusion of solidarity and acceptance.

So, it is fat people who rule over us and we are not allowed to criticize. Good think they have short life spans.
