A new study shows that fat, white Americans are more likely to report that they've been victims of discrimination than thinner people. The study seems to focus primarily on respndents' perceptions, not whether or not discrimination actually occurs. But nowhere does the article indicate that discrimination on the basis of body size is wrong, nor does it discuss the possibility that fat Americans of all races are indeed discriminated against. I found the completely distanced, neutral tone of the article jarring. Even if the study at hand was not focused on these issues, someone could have been quoted about them, to flesh (heh! flesh!) out the full story.

Still hard-hearted

Months later, I just googled "hard hearted yankee bitch" again and YESSSSSS it pulls up my blog and only my blog! Score!

Seeding Google

I just googled the phrase "hard hearted yankee bitch" because I feel like one of them today, and I got no hits. So I decided I needed to post that phrase, just because. Because today I am a hard hearted yankee bitch.
