In 2010, the World Health Organization released a report stating that eight out of the ten “fattest” countries in the world are in the Pacific. By exploring how popular representations of the Pacific Islander body are raced and gendered, this paper aims to understand how an organization such as the Pacific Health Club helps combat these stereotypes while building a “health and fitness” community across the globe through its usage of social media. This paper aims to understand the relationship between race, representations of fat, and how Pacific Islanders understand and are re-defining and re-claiming their bodies.
