Interestingly, they're actually physiologically correct. There are currently a lot of arguments being put forth that the normal BMI range should decreased by 1-2 points because of the increased tendency for East and South Asians to store intra- and extrabdominal fat rather than storing fat on the hips and thighs (which is a risk factor for diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis).

The BMI for overweight for an Asian person may legitimately be too high! Science!

I know, that's why I said it was the most legitimate complaint I've heard :)

I just think it's cool lol. It also makes me wonder if the same argument might be made for other ethnic groups that appear to be more susceptible to metabolic disorders.

Or maybe it's just those pansy, weak Asian enzymes that are at fault lol. I mean, come on, step up your game guys.

I'm Australian, and on Aussie BMI calculator sites I'm sure I've seen that the range might not be appropriate for South East Islander people (it might be higher for them). Either that or waist circumference metrics. ANyway' interesting.
