i want to the stats you have. from my personal experience i notice far more fat white people than black hispanic, or asian.

lol more fat Asians than whites?  I don't believe it unless they were completely Americanized.  Asians are far smaller and more in shape than any other population.  Want to know why?  They eat better than most races.

no i am saying i see more fat white people than any other race.

Not looking this up, but all I will say is in college I saw this multiple times in social science, and biology classes. The rates of obesity go something like this and is not really debatible. Black>>Hispanic>>White> Asian. For one, this also shows the basic premis is wrong as Asains are the minority and are the slimmest race. I do not care to go into the well known reasons of why certion minorities have higher rates of obeisity because it is obvious and mostly concerns social conditions. Even though the high rates of diabetes in Hispanics is believed to be mostly of genetic factors.
