“I think since the word “oriental” became politically incorrect, “asian” has replaced it. In other words, I think this is someone that in less PC times would have been called oriental”

But didn’t the description say six feet tall?

Not everybody who looks oriental is from the coastal populations where they are by and large small people. Worked with a bunch of Chinese basketball playing students doing an exchange program once...all were like 6 ft and taller.

A bit of stereotyping there .... As it happens, I've known a number of Asian types -- Chinese, Japanese, even Vietnamese and Korean -- who are average height or above.

A generation or two of modern American nutrition is all it takes.
