[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is amount of short foreigners moving in. Mexican, Asian etc. When I was young in NYC the police had a 6 foot height requirement minimum. The cops had tons of Irish, German, Black cops all who were six feet or taller. My NYC neighborhood at time in 1960s six feet or more was a normal height. Today 2024 my old neighborhood is largely Hispanic with Asians mixed in and Black. Of course the average height has shrunk. For example in 1976 my older brother was cut from the JV basket ball team in my HS at six foot four inch ninth grader!! They had two six foot five inch 9th graders already!! Today he be star of that team. The school is all Asian and Mexican. [/quote] The article (in bolded in OP post) stated they looked at only white people.[/quote]
