I think I'm more offended that we are supposed to believe a 52 yr old overweight woman is some kind of badass to be feared in The Equalizer.annie88 said:
Queen Latifah apparently had a problem with this recently when a trainer told her she was morbidly obese. Kind of tried to push racism into it too.
However, Latifah and Pinkett Smith go on to point out that BMI is based on racial and societal biases, as it is calculated based on a person's height and weight. The "ideal" measurements do not factor in gender or ethnicity, as they are based on the body of a white European man in the mid-19th century.
