Employers are adopting Diversity and Inclusion policies and providing training to ensure that staff embrace new attitudes towards diversity.

Often, these actions and workshops are inspired by public campaigns and initiatives from the United States.

Through my work with American clients, I have learned which categories these firms consider discriminated against and aim to include, ensure equity for, and promote a sense of belonging.

Many of these categories align with similar discriminated groups in the nine countries I have lived in so far, but one category puzzled me: the "Physically Less Attractive."

Given the high prevalence of obesity in the US, I initially thought obese individuals might be included, as they often face discrimination in hiring and promotions.

Does it make sense elsewhere?

In many African cultures, being fat is seen positively; in some countries, it is even a compliment to call someone fat.

So, who are the "less attractive" people that appear in the discriminated category on this American multinational diversity and inclusion policy?

Does it make sense for a company or for a country to impose categories of discriminated people to its subsidiaries or to other countries?

What do you think?
