Whiteknight 142 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 So 5'7 is average for an Asian male and 5'11 is considered tall for Asian male? 5'7 is considered short for a White male and 5'11 is considered average for White male. What do you guys think? This is what I came up with through going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denizen mars 5,911 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 ooor you could just look at demographics. I think people's memories are pretty unreliable when it comes to remembering random data like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Average_height_around_the_world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wings 4,616 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 where i live men below 180cm and woman below 70 is considered short I don't like the place where you live: I would be very short :ohdear: I think it's a bit incorrect generalize the height considering asian or caucasian/"white" like a uniform "race"; for example in northern Europe people are about 5 cm taller than people in southern Europe. The average height in my country is about 173-174cm for men, and 162 for women, and we are caucasian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatssosoo 731 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I feel like second generation Asian Americans are taller now. At least, the males are. Almost every Asian I see at school are at least 5'10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denizen mars 5,911 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Then why on average are Asians shorter than Whites or Blacks? It's complicated. Combination of environment and genetics.

This thread is simply inquiring on user's personal observations on how tall they see each race as they go about their lives daily. Nothing more, nothing less.
