      Old people otside the imperial core are not as old as they claim. Because record keeping was not as good 80 years ago. And old people like claiming they are older than they are. That is partly why southern italy and okinawa have so many people suposedly over 100.

      As an anecdote my grandma claimed she was in her 90s but there was. No original birth certificate amd grampa who would suposedly have been little older would have been in his mid 80s at the time.

          How so? the reason i gave is poor records wich are a material not a racial factor.

          Also the exaples i gave are italians who are white. Japanise. Grandma who was not white. And maybe this guy who depending on what you ask may or maynot be white. So an ethnically varied sample.
