All this chart says is "asians short, whites tall." Which literally everyone with a brain could tell you if they didn't mindkill themselves.
The UK is filled with Indians and their nearby ethnic group the Arabs, so there drops their average. And the US has a shit ton of Hispanics doing the same to ours.
but then there are the steppe guys who are like giants.
They are an exception to a lot of Asian generalizations. But their extreme differences only highlight how otherwise similar all the rest are.
So what's the average white guy height?
It can't be more than like 5'9". I think people massively overestimate how tall the average person is. If we were Norwegian, yeah, we'd be 6'0". But even for whites, that's not most of US heritage. There aren't even that many Nords period.
Issue with that question is that Europe itself has a much larger variation in height in a small geographical area than it seems most of the world does, but all of those fall under "white." A solid 2-3 inch difference from just a few hundred miles.
I'd wager that 5'9 to 5'11 just depending on area is a safe bet for anyone.
Either way, most white guys are taller by a head than most white girls, and any non-Scandanavian girl period, which is what the majority of the height care matters. And women are so bad at judging numbers you can just say 6'2 at 5'9 and they believe it, which is probably where the overestimation gets born.
lol true
