Her embarrassed parents refused to hold her hand in public
Damn, that's cold.
Cool article. It sucks that there's so much discrimination against fat people in China... I mean, obviously there is here as well, but at least it's not of the point of like, saying someone can't be a teacher because they're obviously incapable of standing up.
I'm happy for them now, but man is China fucked up. I wish the idea of her getting rejected for a teaching job was unbelievable, but it's quite likely. But around here, at least there are laws to prevent such things.
BTW, you should check out nervy_girl's journal. She's a friend of mine from Canada - an english/theatre instructor who posts rather often on fat activism and positive body image. She's pretty nifty in general.
