I just don't get why people always say that. They're generally shorter and smaller-boned, but I've still seen them come in a variety of body types. I don't just mean American girls of Asian descent, but actual Asian women. I've seen a lot of Asian women just as shapely or even shaplier than a lot of white women. I've seen plenty of overweight Asian women too. And while I have seen some that fit that stereotypical straight 'H' shape and wear a size 0, they still appeared to have the same amount of fat and muscle mass as everyone else, they just had smaller bones and a different body shape. My idea of "skinny" is someone who is gaunt looking and has a below average muscle and fat percentage, not someone who's just small.

Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me? I guess it depends on the country. Being shapely doesn't make someone fat, but as for those that are actually overweight, it might have to do with introduction of American junk food chain restaurants over there. There are so many KFCs in Asia now. And Asian celebrities are way thinner than a lot of regular Asian women I've seen.

There's also a difference between "slim" and "skinny" as I just said before.

I think what they mean is - when you go to an asian country, you do not see so many overweight women like you do in the states. Sure, there are some that are overweight, but in the states it is very common.

I have noticed that alot of asian women are slim, but I don't know why. Maybe its the diet over there? But then again I have never personally been to asia as of yet, so most of what I have seen has been movie stars and such, which tends to portray ideal women as with all culture's actors and actresses. I'll probably get to Japan one day and notice something completely different lol

I've never seen a fat asian in my life. 60% of americans are overweight. That is a higher rate than any other country.

Because we have 2meter longer darm than western people do. and we drink green or jasmin tea. it helps digesting. And we eat more fish than western do. Western eat lot of red meat, cheese, milk, black tea which is not healthy. we were born different.
