Yeah thats why we call them little japs in Chinese. I think its because most of their DNA is still indigenous islander DNA which makes them small even though they have some migrant DNA from korea and China who brought them culture, technology and writing etc

Japan getting stomped with home court advantage is great. Notice how you never have any indians in any sporting threads? Or olympiads threads? I wonder why hmm?
