Wait. Isn't the premise of Rebel Wilson's new film pretty much the same as Amy Schumer's earlier this year? Plus-sized white girl who laments the fact that her life sucks bc guys don't ask her out then bumps her head and the world is beautiful and cute guys ask her out?

White men seeing a plus-sized white woman as attractive and beautiful is radical; black men seeing plus-sized black women as attractive and beautiful is whatever. Who cares.

And the worst thing that these women think is actually funny or clever is that they have to hit their heads very hard to the point of black out in order to get that validation.

And the "we got here first" concept by white plus-sized women is so insidious and common and dismissive. It's a bid for relevance that isn't even a bid really but a preemptive strike. Don't try it, plus-sized black women — this is our genre now.

There’s also a weird subtext that the way white men see/define beauty is all in women’s heads, and something that can be altered with...amnesia...? (Disclaimer: I haven’t seen either of these movies and don’t plan to.)

Trump supporter saying someone is Stuck on Stupid. Is that an insult or compliment?
