the fact is that the body size of tourists is so much larger than Balinese particularly fat tourists, and so is more threatening and is more offensive.
That does not make it 'wrong' to be fat, or imply that fat people are more aggressive.
Fat offensive people do stand out more, anecdotally I personally don't recall seeing any thin, rude, loud mouthed yobos having a go at a local. Not to say it doesn't happen, it is just not as noticeable.
The poster could have said a more PC 'large' which would have meant the same thing (more threatening because of body size), but we are not all PC or care to be.
