I can't answer that with authority, but it certainly seems so. Generally speaking, different cultures view bodies differently. But cultural differences are less strong than they used to be before the constant access to everything from everywhere. The whole world is assimilating into one pop cultural image, which is non-ethnic and non-fat. Eventually those who embrace cultural differences will be rebels. That is already true in the fat-acceptance world. Not only are these people viewed as rebels, but perceived as delusional, dangerous, and pathetic, when in reality they are merely embracing certain cultural perceptions that were once considered valid.
