[In the bible they mention "giants" and I've always wondered if that was the meeting of the races.]

If you dropped the Chinese off in the Midwest, they would claim the same thing.

Some Asian races are relatively short, true, but not the Chinese. In general Chinese people are nearly as tall as Americans, and quite tall compared to, say, the Japanese.

Definitely taller than the Japanese, I would agree (they make me feel like a giant when I'm walking there), but not all that tall. I'm average height for an American, but when I'm on a crowded Beijing street my head is floating above the crowd along with the Russians I see there.
