Were you expecting the tallest person to be black or white or something? The comment you made was just plain dumb and could easily be interpreted as racist.

So was kramer.
As an interesting side note, the world's tallest woman is also from that region.

Anything is open to interpretation.

Exactly. There is a difference between pointing out an irony (being as, people of Asian descent are typically considered to be shorter in stature), and being racist. If I would have said "OMG LOL TALL CHINK" it would have been a little different.
Racism is dumb. Bigotry is dumb. I know where I stand.
