You have no proof or sources, so it is inevitable that you will give up as you have no solid argument.

I'm going to suggest something completely unscientific here.

1. Find an Asian born and raised in the US.
2. Ask him if hes ever been to his country. Ask him if hes taller than people there (Japan and Singapore wont count).
3. Repeat with every Asian you meet.

I'm pretty sure you'll end up finding Asian Americans are as a whole taller than their counterparts in Asia, even among their family. The difference isn't as pronounced now as it was 10 years ago as food is a lot easier to come by even in the poorest areas and sanitation has increased dramatically, but it should still be noticeable.

What does this mean? In layman's terms, the people you find here and their comparison groups have been matched on many genetic factors by virtue of their nationality. They are essentially, for the purpose of this exercise, identical genetically. So why the height difference? Logically, the only thing differentiating the person you found and people from his country of origin is environmental (e.g. diet). You can repeat this for many people coming from an underdeveloped, malnourished state (and no, Europe doesn't count as underdeveloped) and the results will be very similar.

dude so what, they eat better, so a little bit taller than their home grown counter part is logical, but what i said its compared to white and blacks, asians r short as fuck. and dont bring yao ming and shit into the discussion, they dont represent the likes of average chinese or asian

Thanks for agreeing with the diet. That was the only point I was trying to get across. The reasons as to why whites and blacks are taller than Asians are more complicated, so I didn't even bother addressing it.

the reason is genetics, its not diet. ppl r not equal, if u r naive enough to believe anything can be accomplished by giving same shit to every1, then y do blacks always hold the fastest time in 100m, no other races have been able to even break the 10s barrier.

if you whore calcium for about 6 months, you can grow a max of 4 inches.

do americans that live in asia grow shorter?
black people living in asia would, in time, have shorter dicks?

the whole thing is genetics. u cant get fucking taller by drinking milk and whore calcium from birth to death, the growth would be too small without the genetics factor. just face the reality, u r what u r, u cant change shit about it. all u can do is move forward with what u have or blame ur parents for shitty genetics.

How can you say :



and follow it up with:



Milk qualifies as part of a "proper diet"

That has probably something to do with hormonic suppression, which actually is a factor in growing. This can limit your potential height.
