r/AskHistorians fantastic examination of Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back" as a response to racism

This has to be one of the greatest uses of Reddit.

r/AskHistorians is where you go to ask a historian for a researched and true-as-best-as-we-know answer about anything. This topic about the classic 1992 Sir Mix-a-lot ode to booty is phenomenal. PHENOMENAL.

The 1992 song "Baby Got Back" implies that White people in America disdained large female posteriors. Was this, in fact, the cultural norm at the time? And if so, to what degree, if any, did the song itself lead to a change in zeitgeist vis a vis derrieres? from AskHistorians
