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 | ||

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. | ||

I mean, you can do this in your own home too. You don't have to go to Asia. Just feed your kid white rice, give him some dirty water (make sure its brackish and opaque, shouldn't be too hard if you take a shit in it beforehand), "forget" his vaccinations, and otherwise emulate the provincial life of a Chinese/Indian/Laos/Filipino farmer. Be sure to expose him to lead paint chips and put a couple drops of arsenic in his sewer water for good measure. I'm sure he'll grow up fine and dandy. Maybe even be taller than you! | ||

Sausage I think you're either confusing my point with what some other folks here are saying or I didnt elaborate it enough. Genetics gives you a limit. A white guy whose maximum potential for speed is 11 seconds on a 100m can never beat a black guy whose maximum potential for speed is 10 seconds. But dietary factors, and environmental factors combine to skew this also. If you take that same 10 second black guy from birth, give him a multitude of parasitic infections, say, malaria, feed him shit for years, and have him race a white guy who has completely healthy lifestyle of diet and medical checkups, will, with equal training, lose. His body will not have grown to its best, he will NOT have attained his physical peak and may end up running a 11.5, which is still decent for most people. Keep in mind there will always be superior individuals who can outclass a lot of people even with a crap nutrition, but a perfect diet and a perfect environment will make that person even better. This applies with height, and virtually every human characteristic you can imagine. I don't understand how this is so hard to comprehend. | ||

What reality are you telling me to face? I'm educating you son. You can get taller by "drinking milk and calcium whoring", as opposed to drinking only water and being calcium deficient. Or, to put it another way since your mind seems a bit too simple to comprehend, you can end up SHORTER than your genetic height by having a bad diet. The world is so much larger than your hamburger-saturated environment (or should I say big-sausage-saturated *insert gay joke here*) and not everyone has access to foods that will give them the proper building blocks to grow. | ||

I'm just laughing at the people who speifically suggested drinking milk as a way of getting taller. | ||

Actually its because its easier to be a good gymnast if you're short. Balance is key to being a good gymnast as well as muscle ratio to total body mass. If you're short both of these are easier because your center of gravity is lower and obviously if you're shorter you have less body mass to lift. As a result most of the best gymnists are short. | ||
