[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's demographics. "Even native-born white men and women are getting shorter..." Who are they marrying? Are Scandinavian-descent always marrying Scandinavian-descent or are they marrying Irish descent? [b]Not all "white" Europeans are tall.[/b] I currently live in a largely white area and just vacationed in a different largely white area. The differences in height is noticeable. Much taller in the vacation spot vs where we live.

My boys visually and demographically identify as white yet I am Latina. They will not be as tall as their 6'4" father, which is good because he doesn't fit well into some public spaces.[/quote]

My relatives were all basically from England or France and none of them were tall, at least those in the past 2 or 3 generations that I know of. [/quote]

France while much smaller in area than the us still has a lot more genetic variability than Germany

Alsatians are very different than people from Brittany who are different than people from the south or the pyranees/basque area

Macron for example could never run for us president due to height [/quote]
