Body Positivity movement has no benefit on brown women

I understand this might be a contentious perspective, but I believe the body positivity movement does not significantly benefit South Asian women, as maintaining excess weight is detrimental to health.I come across many overweight Indian female influencers promoting the idea that being larger is healthy, when it isn't.I’ve noticed that when I go to the gym, I rarely see any South Asian women. When will we realize that achieving a basic glow-up and improving our appearance starts with maintaining a healthy weight? No amount of makeup can mask an unhealthy, obese body.

South Asian women have the highest rates of heart disease, diabetes, and PCOS compared to other racial groups. It’s frustrating to see certain SJW brown women encouraging younger, impressionable South Asian girls to believe that being bigger is okay. Our community needs to focus on prioritizing fitness and proper nutrition.

We need to stop fixating solely on education and careers and strive for a balanced lifestyle that includes making time for the gym and actively working to shed excess weight. As a whole, many brown women are either becoming too overweight or so thin that they appear malnourished. I’d love to see more brown girls embracing a fit or slim-thick body type. It’s great to have curves, but let’s aim to have them in the right proportions.
