Let me restate that integration happens when people are brought into direct contact with one other on a daily basis. People in close proximity even take on some of the characteristics of the people around them. the bottom line is that these programs biased towards race and gender are never going to go away because some of the people in these groups are looking to tip the scales in their favor, politicians are exploiting the legitimate and not so legitimate concerns of these "groups" for their own gain, and you will always find people who disciminate against other people for what they look like. I don't see how making fun of someone for being fat is any different than making fun of them for being black, asian, white, whatever, and the truth is I do it too.
