Modern day statistical evaluation, average body height, males, taken from some internet site:
Belgium - 180,4 cm
Canada - 180,1 cm
Finland - 176,6 cm
France - 173,1 cm
Germany - 180,2 cm
Italy - 172,2 cm
Japan - 165,6 cm
Netherlands - 180,8 cm
Norway - 179,7 cm
Spain - 170,0 cm
Taiwan - 172,7 cm
USA - 175,5 cm
It's a fact that not all humans are physically the same, and it's a fact that different bodies have different abilities. And it is also possible to quantify the differences statistically, broken down to all sorts of things - to time period, economical conditions, region or even nationality. I don't see anything racist in the statement of fact that on average in the WW2 period the Japanese pilot was smaller and more lightweight than the average US pilot.
And personally I don't see how on average the smaller guy has the strength of the taller guy. Same way I don't see how on average the tall guy has the same resistance to g loads. Unless of course one of the guys is genetically superior but that would be racism.
Neither racism nor political correctness change medicine, physics or facts.
And finally, nothing like that is modelled in game. So I don't really know why you guys are discussing this in the first place.
