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.
You would be wrong, though.

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. |

No they are not. Those are stereotypes. Racisim is the belief that a particular race is inferior. |

"Asian culture" is soooo vague considering that Asia comprises of so many countries, each with a unique culture of its own. :) |
