Fat Body positivity people rejoice, the American Medical Association is recommending ditching the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale, claiming that it has a “racist” history.
The Daily Mail reports that the AMA says that the BMI has caused “historical harm” and has been exploited for “racist exclusion,” and even by eugenicists.
The AMA further declares that body shape should be reevaluated “across race and ethnic groups, sexes, genders,” and that medical professionals should not use the BMI as the only measurement of healthy weight.
“BMI does not appropriately represent racial and ethnic minorities,” the AMA now states on it’s website.
The BMI simply uses height and weight to determine if a person is overweight or not.
Now, somehow, that’s only applicable to whitey.

“BMI is weight divided by height”, how can that possibly be racist?
Even if it is no reflection on health, wouldn’t it require a racial component to be racist
