Yea if you ran a multivariate statistical analysis comparing political affiliation to obesity you'd probably find little to no correlation. My two maps weren't meant to be that rigorous, but i do think it plays to people's prejudices about the South and Midwest vs. New England and the West. Which of those regions do you think is fatter and more conservative?
I'm assuming this is what you're referring to:

As you continually try to pin obesity-related health costs on minorities, let me again remind you that Native Americans are an absolutely minuscule segment of the population. Blacks and Hispanics, while having twice the rate of diabetes (some of which is genetic), are not even half the population of whites (13% and 17% respectively).
So at the end of the day, fat white people with fat-related diabetes are costing me more in healthcare. Blacks and Hispanics are costing me proportionately more, but you can write off some of that due to poverty, genetic predisposition, and good old fashioned racial prejudice.
And I guess people who go to grad school don't work hard?? lol |
If you're making value judgments about people (as you do with drug addicts, rednecks, etc) why can't I point out uncomfortable statistics?
Grad school is great bud, but for a group that whines and complains 24/7 you sure don't seem to understand actual privilege (hint: you have it and those rednecks don't)
Yalls condescension is why I vote republican. I agree with fewer and fewer republican positions but liberals are overeducated underemployed moral busy bodies who prefer Syrian refugees to whites in the flyover states. You made a joke about Mexicans and jarnauga got offended. Perfect example of liberals. You're just humorless people and yeah, not very tolerant at all
