Academic calls for pay-as-you-weigh flight fares

39. There is always a good reason to segregate people. Airline fees, laziness of a race,

smell, religious beliefs. At one time or other, people have thought such reasons were very good reasons to segregate people. It's either money or some other reason.

That's the point.

If someone wanted to make black people sit in a different room at work because they smell different, and someone pointed out that's like paying fat people less because they take up more office space, someone could've logically responded that a fat person didn't smell bad, so the analogy is incorrect.

(Smell different...true enough, that was a stereotype I heard about minorities when I was growing up.)

The point being....it's not a good idea to segregate a group of people in such a way as to make them feel less than others, even if on the surface, it makes sense to some at the time.
