Do you think it possible that along with the lack of exercise, encroaching of western diet may be equally important in the Saudi women's rising rate of obesity? I'm asking, I truly don't know, but - as seen in research of the Pima Indians and diabetes, there's an awful lot of data supporting the negative consequences of what some of us call the "white man's diet" .
Honestly, I think it would be the greatest human loss to create a world of invisible persons. Wouldn't that be the the the most pernicious implementation of genocide yet? None, nobody should have to endure stereotyping, of course, but healthy identity is extremely important and we get help with that from moral traditions, ceremony, culture, how we define ourselves. Diversity is healthy and I don't believe it's simply a function of UV. It's nature being smart. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a cultural iconoclast, but, any botanist for example will admit there is serious risk and disadvantage to monocultures of any sort, either plant or animal. On the other hand, you must be aware of blood quantum fractionation in the American Indian community as a method of legal disposal as well? To quote Toni Morrison in her book "Beloved" "Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined." - That is, maybe it's not the label or categorization but it's use to diminish.
