Overweight people or Skinny people? Are you being lookist if you don't date people you don't find attractive?
Are you being classist if you don't date bums? It's ridiculous.

While most of this is, I think, humorous, there is a seriousness to it.

On, and I can't stand PC words, so I just filled in what I thought they might be.
