Heather Gray shirt that reads, "Perfectionism and Food Deprivation Are Rooted in White Supremacy" in white. All are welcome to wear this shirt.
“By ‘white supremacy’ I do not mean to allude only to the self-conscious racism of white supremacist hate groups. I refer instead to a political, economic and cultural system in which whites overwhelmingly control power and material resources, conscious and unconscious ideas of white superiority and entitlement are widespread, and relations of white dominance and non-white subordination are daily reenacted across a broad array of institutions and social settings.” -Frances Lee Ansley
“Perfectionism” and food deprivation (through dieting or socioeconomic barriers) have long been suggested to be linked in the development of eating disorders. Striving for “perfectionism” is a coping mechanism to avoid pain, be deemed valuable, seek power, and appease white standards. When we take a closer look at what constitutes the illusion of “perfectionism” it is the reproduction of white Western values in a white supremacist system. For example, the “perfect body” is commonly associated with slenderness, light skin, European facial features, etc. Perfectionism is often used to even, if not intentionally, make whiteness “the norm” and “supreme.’ Many attempt to align closer to white standards through the means of food restriction.
Like “perfectionism”, current food systems are legacies of past colonial subjugation such as genocide, slavery, environmental degradation, displacement, and ethnocide, etc,. All these factors changed Native peoples access to food and the spiritual and cultural connection to land. When addressing food insecurity in modern times, we have to examine the roles of structural racism. For example:
- From 2001 to 2016, food insecurity rates for both non-Hispanic black and Hispanic Households were at least twice that of non-Hispanic white households.
- American Indian/Alaska Natives are twice as likely to be found food insecure compared to whites
- Racial discrimination limits people of color’s access to educational and employment opportunities resulting in social and economic consequences that could lead to food insecurity.
- African American are incarcerated in state prisons at a rate that is five times that of whites. Consequently, policies that restrict employment for individuals who were previously incarcerated could disadvantage people of color, contributing to food insecurity.
- Gendered relations of power add another layer that make womxn of color and their children susceptible to greater economic hardships and food insecurity.
The detrimental effects of food insecurity have been linked to “higher levels of binge eating, overall eating disorder pathology, any-reason dietary restraint, weight self-stigma and worry.”
George Lipsitz states, “whiteness never has to speak its name, never has to acknowledge its role as an organizing principle in social and cultural relations.” Conclusively, eating disorders are connected to the pressures of “perfection” and food insecurity that are rooted in white supremacy. Understanding how structural racism pervades society will give us the tools to both prevent and heal from eating disorders and dismantle colonialism and white supremacy.
