Well, look at the other people on the street. I’d consider this one more to be “Because they’re white”. Or, better yet- They’re fat and white. Obviously American.
And the strap on the woman’s back likely belongs to some hideous touristy fannypack replacement.
I don’t think you have to be hyper-sensitive to see that a cheap, low-blow fat joke is a little mean. “It’s hard not to” obviously refers to the way she takes up much of the frame… it’s just mean-spirited.
it’s the obviously american tourists amongst asians everywhere… Don’t be so touchy. It’s not mean to say this woman is fat because she is terribly obese.

Feed us! As we continue to grow, we are looking for pics from all over. (We're sure one of you has a great tourist shot from Tanzania, but we're not picky, Paris works too.) Get in touch with our editors at fannypackantics at gmail dot com. For every submission, we'll donate $1 to WWF, the global conservation organization. (That way, we'll feel less guilty making fun of fanny packs and keep the world from overflowing with shopping malls.)

It’s the sneakers that are the giveaway.
Don’t be hyper-sensitive.
