Oh, Get Over It, 'Fat Ass' Is A Term Of Endearment

How would you like it if society suddenly started assigning rude nicknames based on physical appearance to everyone? If you were suddenly "Fatty" or "White Hair" or "Yellow Teeth"? That's what it's like right now in Somalia, where you're not really a local until you get a nickname like "Baldy" or "Stutterer" or "Scarface." In some ways, that's not a bad thing- it's at least dropping the pretense that you don't notice someone's, say, cross-eyed or toothless. But sensitive, it ain't. (BBC)
