Interesting how some people can't distinguish something that others can distinguish without much in depth analysis.

Another astounding thread.  I thought the original post was to poke fun of how people in the past used to categorize different peoples with over-generalizing physical features.  Again, our forummers didn't fail to disappoint us with swallowing this methodology whole.

So that means in Europe, people from, say England on average would be taller than people from Switzerland?

XD

Well, Taiwan has the most Mountain to flatland ratio.  Not to mention Taiwan has the taller mountains.  So in theory, the Taiwanese aboiginals should be shorter than the Japanese people?

You can always tell a Chinese by the look of his teeth in my country.  Mongolians have relatively white, tight teeth from dairy diets they eat.  The Chinese have yellow, spread apart teeth from god knows what diet.  It doesn't usually hold true for the current generation of Chinese young people though.

How are the Japanese, "yellow"? All, if not most, of the Japanese people I've met in Japan or in America are pale and slender. And taller than any Chinese person I've met.

man oh man........the Chinese people you have met in the US are mostly from hong kong,taiwan,fujian and canton.....thus most them are short in ave  hight compares to northen Chinese people...and maybe you should cheak out the Chinese national basekball team and Japanese basekball team and then tell me which is taller...or volleyball team.....or go on a trip to northen China

 

any yaoming come out of Japan????no.....

almost everyone in korea and china knows that japanese people are shorter...chinese and korean people didnt make this up...it is true still even in these days....

and china is a mixed country that differ ethnics intermarry with eachother and in result you get a lot of varieties...which is not true in Japan and Korea....so there are more choices than Japan and Korea........

You can always tell a mogol by the smell of his mouth and body in any country...Mongolians takes a shower once a month...sometimes one in a year....only god knows why...doesn't usually hold true for the current generation of Mongolian young people though.

Ok, to go back to the history, it was Chingis Khan(u know him, the greatest conqueror) decreed that WASHING CLOTHES AND BODIES IS FORBIDDEN/OR NOT HEALTY.   Noone knew just what made him say such things but it was the khan's words so everyone obeyed.  As the result, many Mongol expeditionary troops died of diseases transmitted by lices and fles.  Thus came the non-showering custom of the Mongols. 

Plus, nomadic people seldom WANTED showers since they always deal with domesticated animals, so that their own body odor must have smelled like perfume compared with the animals'. 
Settled cultures(like China), on the other hand, can have the luxury of smelling nice since they don't deal with cows, horses, goats, sheep, camels etc, etc everyday. 

About half of the Mongolians are still herdsmen so the non-showering attitude affects a huge portion of Mongolia's people.  Thus foreigners are very quick to notice it.  With westernization and our brother Russians' help, we are trying to fit in to the modern world so nowadays, many people from the cities are keeping themselves clean.   

Still, while Americans are mostly showering daily, Mongolians mostly shower weekly.  But hey, it is a BIG progress from the past.

wth? i didn't know mongolian people don't shower.

how could they possibly stand it?

almost every chinese showers at least once a day if not more. some girls take shower few times a day.

besides, not everyone from hk is short.

i am from hk although i have shanghainese blood. i am 6'1. but i do agree those northern chinese are crazily tall.

Coolstorm, the reason your people showers so often is that simply, it is too friggin hot and humid down there.  I showered daily too, when I was in Beijing. 

Mongolia, on the other hand, is always dry and mostly cold.  People simply do not sweat as much.

"I showered daily too, when I was in Beijing.

I live in Boston where it is cold and dry but I still shower at least once a day if not more. Doesn't matter whether it is cold or dry, you get dirty anyways.

You showered daily? So, you no longer shower daily?

It's just a habit kinda thing. If I am not wrong, there should be desert storms and air pollution in Mongolia that will make you dirty.
