"I saw this Hong Kong beauty pageant, all the girls is always between 90-100 pounds, even a girl at 5'8" weights 97 pounds, and I saw it too, she does look really skinny."

Okay 5'8 and 97 is HORRIFYINGLY thin, no matter what ethnicity you are. Actually I read recently that anorexia rates is east asia are rising and starting to compare with those of the US, especially in Hong Kong and Japan.

do you guys ever stick to the subject? I thought this thread was about relationships, not about genetics or the origin of man.

To, Moonshineprincess;

Very true, genetics have a huge role on the thinness of a person. Anorexia is more of an eating disorder. From what i see, the vietnamese, like my family, have EXTREMELY fast matablisms. My sister eats as much as me, she eats with me most of the time, and i know for sure she has NO eating disorder. And yet she's A LOT thinner then most people that eath LESS then her! And no she DOES not do all that crazy stuff fat people do, like sticking a finger in their throat. How do i know my sister does not do this? Well, i kind of eat with her at the same table for at least three six days a week! And when she's done eating she watches TV, surfs the net, or goes outside to play sports (another contribution to being healthy thin, not too thin).

Dear: Moonshineprincess

Well, it is just my experience that I've seen alot of Chinese young women who are really skinny (through media?), I'm not sure naturally or through diet, but I knew there's alot of Chinese girls who goes on a diet, etc.. Well, I go to a university in southern california so this is where I see this, and I knew alot of Chinese guys who have really skinny Chinese girlfriends.

I'm not here to say that who is more skinnier or who is more chubbier than who, like comparing the Viet and Chinese. There are some people in both ethnic who goes on diet to be skinny, I'm just stating from my experience that I think the Chinese Expectation of a women is to be skinny much more compare to the Viet's "ideal" expectation. Cause I'm pretty sure that this is all influence by the media, Alot of Chinese actress, model, or celebrity seem to be really really lightweight, so I assume that the "ideal" for Chinese is to be like that, because those celebrities are idols for many girls.

Just as I see vietnamese celebrity or singer, they tends not to be as skinny, though but they do look slender, but not super skinny. Well, I don't know, maybe from where you're from, you see that many Chinese people are in general have more meat than viet genetically, well, that could be true in general,but anyway I don't think that looking more chubby is a bad thing, I kinda think it's cute :).

I was just saying to "sick of all the viet ego" that not only Vietnamese girls are into the "skinny look"(though naturally or through diet) but also that Chinese placed a more important factor in that also, and to prove to "sick of all the viet ego" that if he's gonna put down the Vietnamese girls then he might as well have put down Chinese girls more as well,

Like for instance,
I saw this Hong Kong beauty pageant, all the girls is always between 90-100 pounds, even a girl at 5'8" weights 97 pounds, and I saw it too, she does look really skinny. Oh well, enough about weight, it doesn't worth a fight over between two ethnic, and I don't think that being super skinny looks better than being chubby, some people look good in their own certain way, I have women idol who are both shapely and slender, and I think they all look great. And to all the Asian women out there, please don't change the way you look because of the media, it's just unhealthy, and it doesn't mean that you'll look better than before. I'm seen some women who goes on diet to be skinny, and sometimes I seriously think that they look better and healthier before.
so anyway,just love for all ya'll
