2girlsnocup: Have you been to Asia, or only going by the people in your neighbourhood?There are some tall Asians, but it's not as common as it is for other races.
, I have never been to Asia, i meet most of them here in France and Luxembourg. I have worked with some of them.
almera03: When saying "with respect" you are actually saying, I don't care what you think, cause Im going to say it anyway, that's not respect!
No, you were prejudiced towards gay people yesterday, today racially offensive, tomorrow will be with all respect, why should a woman be allowed to vote.
I don't remember where i was being against any group of people, because i don't judge other people. Secondly, i am just learning from you, that the phrase "with respect" actually means being disrespectful.Trying to change people statements is being disrespectful i guess, and trying to predict someone's future thinking is wanting to impose a stereotypical attitude.

Many Asian people are small, but some of them are tall, like the Mandarins in north China. My son is Vietnamese and one of his uncles was 5 feet 11 inches tall, and another uncle still in Vietnam is 6 feet 4 inches tall, and they are not small boned. My best friend married a Vietnamese guy who is also bigger boned and around 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall or so. Some of the Koreans are very small though, although some of them can be tall as well. It just depends....there are small Germans and there are big boned, tall Germans too. There are some very tall Africans and there are some very small tribes as well; can't remember what the ones who played in The Gods Must be Crazy, were, but there are the pygmies too.
However, you're right, Chinese are not very tall in general. Most of the Chinese that are scattered all around the world are Cantonese, Fujianese, Hainanese and Hakka. They are not known for their height, only their prowess in business They can be very unscrupulous when it comes to business.

Yes, i have read this somewhere, and they have good sense of solidarity, when a chinese is in a difficult situation, he/she is never abandoned, and have an unquestionable word of honor when it comes to debt. But like other generations, changes/evolution occurs,, this is with regards to earlier generation that i'm citing.

What they lack in physical stature they more than make up for in numbers, blind obedience to authority, and an overwhelming need to conform. Did you know for example that 10 of them, when of roughly equal proportion, can combine together and form a Mega Gook?
