Abstract
In times of pandemic resulting from the new coronavirus, there is an intense production of speeches that bring knowledge about the disease and how people are infected. The repeated speeches have produced a strong link between COVID and obesity as one of the main factors of comorbidity for a disease. However, in a much smaller number and little circulated, representations that problematize this are promoted to carry the fatphobia and bringing racial issues to comorbidities. The purpose of this article is, therefore, discursive analysis, based on enunciative theories, the management and hierarchization of the points of view of the opinion article “It is not obesity. It’s slavery.” from RioOnWatch. The results point to an anti-oriented form of points of view that legitimize obesity as a risk factor in order to deconstruct it and at the same time to highlight that this narrative distracts the main factor of comorbidity of COVID 19: race.
