Ted, interesting story. Just a few thoughts:

- 5'11" Korean ladies are indeed rare, but becoming less rare these days. It most definitely has to do with diet compared to what Koreans ate one or two generations ago, but that's another subject.

- Personally I find Mandarin much less jarring than Cantonese. It's interesting that you prefer Cantonese, because I can't imagine anyone outside of China (or Southeast Asia) preferring that.

- I personally don't like to make a big deal over race and ethnicities. How are non-Asians supposed to even tell the difference between Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, much less the differences among each of these individual groups? I'll bet most Asians can't tell the difference, either. (I'd love to prove that sometime by doing a "blind taste test" with photos.) Anyway, I think those peers of yours overreacted.
