A 21-year-old woman has accused the bouncers at her local pub of discrimination after she was banned from dancing on the bar because she was told she was too fat.
ABC News reports Jordan Ramos, a student at the University of Iowa, who describes herself as 'plus-sized', says she was with friends at Union Bar in Iowa City last month when she tried to climb onto the bar.
Miss Ramos says she was told to get back on the floor because she 'was not pretty enough' and was 'obviously pregnant'.

ABC reports the bouncer told Miss Ramos the bar was at capacity during a night out on March 3.
She told the network she waited until a few girls stepped off to make room and tried a second time to stand on the platform - but was stopped again.
Miss Ramos said a friend confronted the manager, but he refused to discuss the matter and asked the women to leave.

A follow-up email sent by Miss Ramos was never answered, she said.
'There was only one difference: I am a plus-sized individual,' she told ABC.
'The bouncer said "Look, you will never get up on this platform. Go back to the dance floor where you belong."'

She returned to the bar again on April 14, and was again rejected.
'He said, "You’re not pretty enough and you’re pregnant." I said, "I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I am not pregnant."
'He then looked at my stomach and said, "You obviously are." They knew I was not pregnant; it was there way of calling me fat without having to actually say it,' she said.
Miss Ramos filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission, but officials told her they could not investigate because size discrimination is not illegal.
The incidents, she said, have made her question her worth.
She told the Des Moines Register: 'It made me start questioning myself and thinking, "Are my friends so much better than me?" I know they’re thinner, but those bouncers made them seem more valuable.'
She told the website she was surprised the incidents took place in Iowa City, which she considers 'open-minded'.

fat people should be discriminated against, because, unlike being a different race or gender, you can do something about it and its not good to be fat.
You're fat. Its unhealthy and disgusting. Discrimination against fat people is acceptable in the same manner that discrimination against smokers is acceptable.

That's how I feel it's good for everyone the bar, other patrons etc. mi just think its hillarious she is crying discrimination and filed suit with the "human rights watch" or wtvr Mabey she should dedicate some of the time and effort she is expelling on working out
But it was discrimination...obviously. That doesn't mean it is wrong. She could have hurt herself, if she doesn't want to be discriminated against, lose some weight, even if she has terrible genetics she can go from fat to a little chunky.
It really is... I know this fat Asian chick who bitches about her over active thyroid or something like that, then pounds down 20 chicken wings in one sitting
Yes, your friends are "so much better than you." They have the self-control to not eat excessive amounts of food and look like a blue fucking whale as a result.

That's the problem with the way America is headed! It's the liberal, everyone wins, hugs for all, we're all perfect attitude that is ruining the nation.
Why should the fat chick work hard to eat right and stay in shape, when she can just whine and complain to get "equal" rights?
Why should junior go home from a basketball tournament without a trophy, just because he didn't want to learn to dribble a basketball?
Why should someone go out and get a 40 hour week job, when they can just sit at home getting free food and a paycheck from the government?
