Because they're fat.

The bigger question is why isn't it OK to call them fat in America?

In many Asian countries it’s a sign of health and prosperity.. even revered.


A few Asian culture ways that might rub modern American the wrong way:

1. White skin is preferable to dark skins especially in women. Imagine saying that out loud here.
2. Rarely you’ll see a old flight attendants. Most are under 30. It’s just how they operate.

Had an old Chinese man rub my belly one time and ask when I was due. Laughed my rear off.

Because being fat in China is a sign of wealth. Very few have enough money to pay for extra food that will make them fat. That is why the will eat damn near anything.

I don't recall ever seeing a fat Chinese woman in a city of 11 million people.
