On a lighter note one of my favourite tee-shirts ever was one a black friend of mine had that went something like

When I was born, I was black, When I grew up, I was black,  When I'm sick, I'm black,  When I go out in the sun, I'm black,  When I'm cold, I'm black, When I die, I'll be black,

You

When you're born, you're pink,  When you grow up, you're white, When you're sick, you're green,  When you go out in the sun, your red,  When you're cold, your blue,
When you die, you'll be black and purple.........................  And you have the nerve to call me coloured!

...all that? On a t-shirt??
Was he (OR SHE) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL??

(Not that there's anything wrong with non-thin people, of course     )

Good debate anyway - slight differences of opinion maybe but that's not unhealthy if we can all remain civil about it and respect each other
