Why can't it just embrace foreign entities?

What do you mean? It does that all the time. Unless you don't breathe or eat/drink anything.

I mean, my racist white blood cells keep on attacking foreign cells. Why can't they stop being so racist and xenophobic? I want my body to fully embrace diversity and multiculturalism.

Strawman argument. If different cells are analogous to different races, then your body is a perfect example of a harmonious multi-cultural environment. It's only hate filled viruses that cause problems. You are a virus to society's body. How does that feel?

My body is like South Korea: the native cells take on different roles, and immune cells will take out the foreign entities that may disrupt the health of my body.

It does.
Only sometimes does it mistakenly attack harmless foreign entities, and itself.

Inject liquified Guardian papers into your body. This should push your immune system into a more tolerant mindset.
Don't overdo it though or it'll end up insisting that AIDs "isn't so bad".

Don't be ridiculous. Sperm cells and brain cells are completely different in looks AND behavior. They're completely culturally different, and yet at the same time all belong to your body. Imagine if some horrible virus came into the body crying about "evil multi-kult agendas" and trying to disrupt this wonderful harmonious environment by destroying everything that makes each cell unique and replacing it with a carbon copy of its own useless and tedius self. Why, I think such a terrible thing should be removed from the body at once, don't you agree?

Is that true? I would have thought they'd be quicker to fall down, since they have a higher centre of gravity.

Its basic math. They're higher up, so they take longer to fall. Not saying its not Easy for them to fall, the act of falling just takes longer.

But if they have weaker knees they might fold quicker than a normal-sized man's knees. Honestly I think that if you pushed two similar-mass people over and they didn't try to stay stood up, they'd fall at the same rate.

Agreed. BUT the time of falling, from start to completion, would be more for a taller person. If there was a short fat dude and a tall skinny guy that weighed the same, the taller guy would be completely on the ground after the short fat guy. Not long after, but enough of a difference.

But how do you define 'falling'? Is it when their hands hits the ground? How are these people falling over, etc.

Which would either involve a faceplant or falling to the knees and only then chest on the ground?

either way, presuming the tall man has a higher leg to torso ratio than the short man, the short man hits the ground first

I still maintain the taller man's head would take longer to reach the ground than the shorter man's.

It's fucking beautiful is what it is. That's a great analogy for what's happening to individuality in our society. Anon B should be a writer for sure.
