I think weight discrimination is possibly the most acceptable form of discrimination right now. Even people who are pro-gay, pro-diversity and so on often jest about people who are fat. "No black chicks" is seen as unacceptable but no one bats an eyelash at "No fat chicks".
I'd say at a close second, people talk a lot of shit about others for their religious views and political views and that's acceptable as well. Even "tolerant" people are known to bash others for their religious or political preferences. However, this isn't really a problem IRL from my social experience (not in Cali, anyway) SO I will go on to say...
Sexuality/Gender, especially among younger people and middle aged people. Here in Caliberalfornia it's not a big deal but back south, it was still seen as creepy or really odd for a guy to dress as a girl, act like a girl and want to be a girl or for a guy or girl to be openly gay. I doubt it's ONLY the south. It's probably more widespread than that considering that I am sure a lot of people still find it to be unnatural.
At third, I'd say social class and race come at an even finish. Quite a few people view welfare recipients or people who are of lower monetary value or income as lazy, undriven and so on. It's worse if you're ethnic and receiving public assistance. People will lump you in with that po' black/Mexican on welfare stereotype. Rarely do people mention race when it's a white family.
Which group of people do you believe is the most discriminated against
