Slim pickings or a fat chance?;Letter

Sohail Faruqi (TES, March 19) thinks that “only a person who has not experienced racism would not see the difference” between “being called a ‘wog’ or ‘Paki’” and “being called ‘fatty’ or ‘four-eyes’”.

Dare one remark that only a person who has never been a fat child would fail to see the similarity?
