i always thought "asians are short" is just stereotype and not true lol they look a bit shorter but japanese etc. don't look very short. for example as a height central asians are similar to europeans or west asians.

If most of the population falls on the shorter end then it is not a stereotype. Also Asians are diverse like the rest of us

But even then you would be 3-4 inches taller which is not a little. That's equivalent to you standing on your tippy toes vs your regular height
True, but I'm so used to standing taller then alot of white people that I probably did not notice it much

I don't know about that. Then those white people are short because an average European male is 5ft 10 on average

I live in Florida, some of the old white guys are short down here
Could be because of their spines being compressed due to old age. Also, I believe the older generation in the US would measure up to 5ft 8 or something instead of 5ft 10 in their primes

Average male in the US is like what just under 5ft 10? The European average is gonna be around 5ft 10 or maybe slightly taller than that. Perhaps around 5ft 11. In Europe you have a lot of areas where the average height can go up to 6ft 1 or taller

Apparently if we cross the border to the east to Germany we won't be midgets anymore cuz domiz says that he feels tall in Germany. Don't quote me on this one but he certainly said that he does not feel midgety there

It's insane to claim that you feel tallish in some instances in Germany unless you are hanging out with a bunch of malnourished refugees from Afghanistan
