I am a 36 years old. And it seems that younger (younger than 25) white woman are much thicker than when I was younger. Meaning I see more with bigger butts and bigger legs.

Is this just me or maybe I never noticed when I was younger? Or maybe white women really are thicker these days? Is it more acceptable now? I remember them being mostly slinny with flat butts. And if they were thicker in the legs and hips they still had flat butts. Now even a lot of skinny white girls have nice round butts.

They are just as thick as Latin and Black women these days. In the past the ethnic women owned having thick bodies. I don't think that is the case anymore. Its the like the Kim Kardashianing of white women.

Why is this?

I haven't noticed it. When they do get thick, their butts never sit up high and stick out like black women. They start to get a muffin shape

Yes, there has been an increase in weight in both sexes over the past 30 years. You are not imagining it.

The best explanation I have come across for it (which accounts for why this has happened all across the United States and not just in certain areas) - is this one:

I'd venture out to say that a lot of the new thick white women you are seeing out there may be hispanic or part hispanic and have european features. A lot of Latinas regardless of race have big butts...my mom calls them "cuban asses" lol


Also I think having a little meat on your bones is now in vogue and when you mix that with free birth control (thanks Obama ) you will see thicker women out there of all backgrounds.

of course the one insulting an entire race of women is you. I was not surprised at all.
White women don't all have "muffin shape" fat distribution. Most white women I know stay in shape anyways by going to the gym and cardio...they are too busy to notice people like you hating on them.

To be fair she wasn't the only one. The poster after her said that ww are fatter not thick like black and rican women.


As for the OP, where I live I see the bolded--slim in shape WW or just plain fat. I hardly ever see white women that could be described in the context of being thick in the way the OP is referencing it.

What the hell is it with all these race threads? Really?
Just keep it moving. How many damn times do we have on these boards
"Whites this...Italians this....blacks this...hispanics this....
What does this exactly have to do with fashion anyway?


I'm more and more in favor of burqas.
That way no one would have an opinion of my body,because they can't see it.
Getting fat? Who cares,no one can see it with a burqa on.

I've heard this lately. I've read a lot of complaints from wm on various forums and things about ww being fat now. I've always associated ww with skinny obsession and high standards on the weight thing. There seems to be some kind of issue about American ww not being up to standard anymore compared to Asians and Russian women. I don't know how to link a youtube video but there's one called "Feminism is destroying western women".
Personally, I haven't observed ww but if they are getting heavier maybe they're trying to recalibrate to normal weights. Everyone can't be a size 2.
