Do you think Kang’s comments qualify as hate speech?

It's not hate speech. It's truth. Living disgustingly unhealthy is not ok, it will be the downfall of America if it doesn't change.

Its not hate to tell someone what is good for them. Being overweight is BAD for a persons health and for society as a whole. Understanding that and saying is is NOT hate.

While I most definitely disagree with Kang I don't think this qualifies as a hate speech but rather as merely an unfortunate opinion.

I think what she said was unkind, thoughtless and narrow-minded, but fat isn't a race or religion. She didn't seem to be marginalizing fat people. Bulimia doesn't trump fat.

Because we are a nation with a high rate of illnesses and death from preventable diseases related to unhealthy lifestyles. It is not hate to make people more aware of this fact.

We are an obese nation and EVRYONE needs to do better staying healthy. That is one reason our healthcare system is so strong and expensive, We have SO many unhealth people of ALL races and genders.

Because she's presenting facts. In the majority of cases people are obese by choice. Make better decisions.

she is right, being fit and being obese is not the same for health. She is not a hater, she is just coherent between her good and healhty lifestyle and her opinion

She's spot on. "Fat acceptance" is not helpful, and "health at every size" is a myth. I'm obese, by the way. I've lost 30 pounds so far and am aiming for another 70 to be in middle of my range.

Her comments are a bit rude and narcissistic but not "hateful"

Health is important and accessible. Those who are borderline obese should be encouraged to make a healthy lifestyle change; they shouldn't be lead to believe being unhealthy is normal or acceptable.

The State has no right to tell people what they can't/can say.

Doesn't sound like hate speech to me

because it is not hate but caring concern

I believe she is inspirational and motivational, though perhaps a bit confrontational. I have no problem with that. And, yes, I rhymed.

I believe in free speech! It is an inaliable right of the American people!

I despise Political correctness which is an instrument of the Zionists and Satanists (same thing) who use it as a weapon and also to destroy the family unit.

shes right. we americans watch and idolize unhealthy habits.. c'mon, people watch "honey boo boo" for example, and they're uneducated, fat, white trash example of whats actually wrong with US

Because "political correctness" is the same as Stalinism - it is totalitarianism lite.

Honestly, hate speech my ass!

Read this!!! First I will say this! I love ALL God's people! Motivation and truth is what the pubic needs!!! http://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2013/march/1361848247/karen-hitchcock/fat-city

because there was no insult on that comment. She wasn't hating on them in any way.
