Why are most black women so fat in developed countries?

Before i get labeled a racist, this thread was made out of plain curiosity. It's the equivalent of asking ''Why are the Irish so skinny?'' which nobody would complain about.

So why are most black women so fat in developed countries? While it's true even in Ireland where we have a small black population, it's even more prevalient in places where the populace is greater such as France or the USA. Even watching CNN there, they were showing footage from the mandela memorial in a stadium. Nearly all the black women that got a close up were very fat.

In America i'd say its because they are more likely to be living in poverty so eat the cheap processed food

Yes, this should go very well indeed, assuming people can stay on topic without getting a slap of the ban hammer!

Regardless of the colour of a persons skin, the majority of people in the developed world have a more substantial diet than those in the developing countries. This rich-food diet (no pun intended) & predominantly sedentary lifestyle causes the extra weight gain.

Having lived on and off in America over the years it is unreal how cheap it is to eat crap and quite expensive to eat relatively healthily.
A weeks shopping woul be twice the price of a weeks shopping in Super Valu or the likes.

That’s very judgemental as it could be genetic or medical issues at play here.;)

Probably because in many African countries its seen as beautiful for women to be fat, and that idea probably just stuck with them.

Ever see a car crash happen in front of your very eyes, time slows down, you want to do something but can only watch. This could have been one of those moments.
