I should have worded it better (of course I know women of other races stand a good chance of weight gain after pregnancy) but what I said is essentially true. I am not trying to be racist. I already stated that they are beautiful (the ones not fat). I was trying to state that obesity is on a sharp rise in the Hispanic population in the USA. You want facts? Okay I'll show you some...
"Minorities are at particular risk. Compared with Caucasians, blacks have a 60 percent higher risk of developing diabetes and Hispanics have a 90 percent increased risk. According to the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC), Hispanics are 1.9 times more likely to have diabetes than whites"
"Obesity is a major contributor to the onset of type 2 diabetes. According to the NDIC, minority ethnic groups in the United States that have high rates of obesity are on the rise, especially Hispanic Americans."
