...Titled 'Intro to Fat Studies: Fatness, Blackness and Their Intersections,' the course is worth three credits and is part of the university's diversity quota — with most students required to take two diversity courses before graduating...

One wonders if you would ever dare to miss an opportunity to virtue signal.Yes. How dare they highlight similarities between vulnerable and demonized demographics? All these people just deserve to continue to be mocked and ridiculed with contempt for being stupid and lazy. /s
