So I’m korean, grew up in Canada and i have been boxing for about 1 year. Growing up, i was athletic and participated in many sport teams and i noticed for almost all sports i was the only asian. (Sprinting, American Football, Boxing). I like boxing, I have fire in my belly and i really want to succeed in it. (Even though i dont want to become a professional). I’m tired of asians getting looked down upon.

I’m short and on the muscular side, but everyone underestimates me, never sees me as a challenge, and tells me I have a inevitable disadvantage due to my race. I hate this, and in any physical sport im the only asian who stands a chance against all the taller whites/black kids. If I tell them I do boxing everyone laughs and says i should go join some karate shit like all the other asians.

So are asians naturally unathletic? Even in boxing history, most champions are black, few white and the only famous boxer who is asian is Manny Pacquiao. Manny seems to be the only exception to this. Is this true?

How do i know if i have talent or if i stand a chance? I dont wanna be doing a sport which im just gonna suck at.

Hi, I am 17 years of age, just turned that age a month ago, I am pretty short for a male and I’m very concerned about my height, I am 5"6 which i consider really short and everyone else seems taller then me in Canada. I wish to grow at least 2 more inches to be at average height for males and was wondering if I still have a chance to grow taller. I started taking height seriously when i realized all my friends were taller then me.So what I am doing is doing alot of exercises like stretching, taking whey protein shake, jumping and stretching more.

Is there a sign that I am still under puberty? you could say that I started quite early say when i was in grade 6 or 7 in middle school. I Still do have acne and still do get them, but not on my face area, but on my back, and a little bit on top of my forehead. I do shave and have pubic hair. Although my armpit hair is still un-even, such as my right armpit hair is longer and have more hair the my left armpit.
Also I didn’t experience any growth, not that i know of although i did grew couple more cm, during this year so Am i really doomed?

I am same height with my dad apparently, and my mom is shorter. but he is old now and I know old people decrease in height, but all i know is that my dad was about 5"7 or 5"8.

Do you guys think I still have a chance at height? Do you think I can grow taller then my dad’s max height? thanks

I’m a man a Mexican of origin that lives in Canada and can’t seem to increase my height.
