While it is not officially decreed here, being beautiful by societal current norms, is an acceptable TV appearance standard by the society. In this particular example, Egypt was by far ahead of the western media policies by already employing fat unattractive women as anchors to begin with.

Uhm..............this thread is about how backward, sexist, third world Egypt is. Not us. When you put someone else down the last thing you want to do is look in the mirror because it might wreck all of those good feelings you get from being better than someone else.
You have completely missed the point.

Indeed. No law was enacted. This was an HR decision made by a media company (albeit a public broadcaster) looking to increase ratings. Obviously, it is discrimination and totally disgusting. But, it is the type of decision made (usually more discreetly) by media companies all over the world every day.
Incidentally, this decision is facing a significant amount of criticism in Egypt.

Sounds like it's time for a "The failure of Liberalism to deal with sexism in the workplace" thread.

Depends. Did the sexism originate from a Muslim making the decision?

Well Saskatoon native Michaela Pereira. I like her and don't think she's unattractive but she has been packing on the pounds. She's since been sent to their Headline News station and Candy Crowley is no longer with CNN.

Isn't Egypt considered a pretty racist country? Not surprised in the least.

What does overweight women have to do with racism? How does an entire country get labeled as racist by the way?

not all news show personalities can be Yanet Garcia.
NSFW tags for rampant sexism and language.
