You only have to look at the way American plus-size actress, Gabourey Sidibe, has been publicly disrespected time and time again – American radio DJ, Howard Stern, once called Sidibe ‘the most enormous fat, black chick’ he’s ever seen – as opposed to someone like Rebel Wilson, who is frequently celebrated as being the ‘quirky, fun,chubby’ girl and who, in several interviews, has stated that she deliberately gained weight in order to further her career. It seems that Wilson is the more appropriate canvas on which to change the world’s perception of fat womxn. A dark-skinned black womxn who oozes confidence in the face of constant online bullying, isn’t.
