Yao Ming and his Wife

"To be fair, there are Asian countries with pronounced shorter height averages (Vietnam, Philippines, North Korea etc), but these figures are the result of war, malnourishment, protein deficiencies, economic disparities and so on. At the other end there are also tall Asians (northern Chinese, S. Koreans) who have benefited from traditionally higher caloric diets and economic prosperity - for example look at wheat production concentration in East Asia; it's solely concentrated in Shandong and the surrounding regions."

TLDR; In some cases, Asians in certain demographics are taller than Caucasians
