This study investigates the association between body weight and the likelihood that people perceive that they have been the victims of racial discrimination in the workplace among the unemployed. I find that unemployed obese men and women are 8.4 percentage points and 7.7 percentage points, respectively, more likely to have experienced racial discrimination before becoming unemployed than their non-obese counterparts. For unemployed men, the relationship between body weight and perceived racial discrimination does not seem to be associated with race. For unemployed women, being black and obese significantly increases the likelihood of perceiving racial discrimination.
本研究调查了失业人群中体重与人们认为自己在职场成为种族歧视受害者的可能性之间的关联。我发现，失业的肥胖男性和女性在失业前经历种族歧视的可能性分别比非肥胖者高出8.4个百分点和7.7个百分点。对于失业男性，体重与感知到的种族歧视之间的关系似乎与种族无关。对于失业女性，黑人且肥胖会显著增加感知到种族歧视的可能性。
