First of all, I am asian (Korean). But why did you bring that up? What does me being asian have to do with anything?

Secondly, I listed a few sites below, which I found by searching for "ergonomics anthropometry nationality". Is it bigotted of designers to create their products assuming that people in different countries are of different heights? Saying that most asians are generally short may be a stereotype, but it's a true stereotype. And it should have been clear just walking down the street--as clear as it is that men are generally taller than women. Don't be so quick to be offended by generalizations--generalizing is a human trait that is useful for engineers and scientists as well.
