I feel like I could use some analysis as anchor points for all the historical context. Idk if I missed something but it sounds like the idea of fatness being a moral characteristic started with white intellectual men. I get how it was used to reinforce anti-Black sentiment and how that furthered anti-fat sentiment. But it seems like originated in intellectualism and was then used to support racism.
