I didn't realize that members of the majority need allies... you know, people to help get equal treatment and representation. I thought only minority groups needed that.  I didn't realize that fanatics are shooting up popular fat gathering spots because being fat is a sin. I didn't realize there were fat people who get fired from jobs, ostracized from families, or denied common services simply because they are fat. Why haven't I heard of this apparently deluge of oppression against fat people?!
