Do Chinese look young or do Americans look old?

Question

Should the world take to everything to be based on American standards?

Answer 1

I think generally speaking, yes they do look younger compared to other races.

  

Answer 2

No. 13 year olds look young no matter they are Chinese or Americans.  

Answer 3

I am chinese and i believe those chinese seemed way too young

my friend is 14 and shes 5'6 and look like 18

those chinese are underage

us chinese just hides it my parents knows it for sure

Answer 4

you answered a question saying ireland compete for Great Britain

Ireland is not part of GB

northern Ireland is but ireland is a completley different country

Answer 5

Look, it's very simple, if your kids don't look like our kids when they are 16, your kid is not 16! It's either you all are blind or we are extremely stupid to believe those Chinese gymnasts are actually 16. For those who shouts "Innocent until proven guilty", that is something that only applies to American citizens. Only wuss needs proof that those Chinese girls are underage. We can 100% tell they are underage from our well trained eyes!

Answer 6

I think it's safe to say that some of the Chinese gymnasts do look young.

It's interesting what you're saying though.

Answer 7

Anyone who watched the Olympics who's not blind or retarded could clearly see how those girls did not look 16 or older no matter who's standards you go by.  Even one of my best friends who is Chinese doesn't believe that those girls are as old as they say they are.  

Answer 8

might want to check their s*x too. can't tell if they're male or female either by looking at them alone.

Answer 9

maybe all the pollution in China stunts their growth

Answer 10

Well, actually, the 17-year-old Chinese diver looked 17.  

Answer 11

I love the light look Asians as well as the heavy look of Europeans, Australians and Americans....and ofcourse the athletic look of the Africans........

We have so many varieties......shouldn't we be proud?

Answer 12

Asian Gymnasts CANNOT be compare to Asian citizens.

Comparing Female Japanese/Chinese/US Gymnasts:

JPN: Avg height: 4'10'' Avg weight: 82 pounds Avg age: 19

CHN: Avg height: 4'8'' Avg weight: 77 pounds Avg age: ~16.8=17

USA: Avg height: 5'0'' Avg weight: 106.5 pounds Avg age: ~18.2=18

Could it be that the eyes of Westerners who is fooled by the standard of their OWN. Look at that weight comparing to JPN/CHN to US. Look at the height even though USA avg their age one below Japan.

Answer 13

There are some people that look younger than what they are, doesn't matter what country. What you are addressing is an age group that showed there age, unlike an older person looking younger.

When it comes to standards, Americans don't go out of there way to do what the Chinese government and people did durning the games. There really isn't anything a country or people will do to look good. My hope is that someone blows the top off what the Chinese did during the games to get their gold metals. That wasn't the cases all the time, but going from almost bottom in the last games to where they ended up with the metal count this time, leaves questions.

Answer 14

I think most of china's athlete's are young anyway and small so they look young but Americans just look normal as do most other countries!
