As PTravel has written, many Asians in their home countries see nothing wrong with saying things about others' physical appearances that to many Westerners would be viewed as unkind or too personal. Weight or some facial problem like acne, big nose, baldness, or other.

As in George Costanza on Seinfeld when another says, "Boy, you really lost a lot of hair!" George: "I'm aware! I'm aware!"
