Of course, it's not the same as race, but I think that there can be discrimination against overweight people.

Agreed. Does anyone remember watching that episode on MTV (I can't remember the name of the show) where they were showing people getting various cosmetic surgery? Do you remember the very overweight girl who had gastric bypass? She said that at her job they stick her in the back, barely seeing customers/clients. After she lost weight, they put her at, I think, the front desk. That is very typical of how overweight people are treated.
