Indeed. E.g., 5'7" is NOT average for white American women, FFS. Also, I don't think people understand how narrow the distribution of height for women is.

The average height for American American women aged 20-60 is:

non-Hispanic white: ~164 cm or 5'4.5"
non-Hispanic black: ~163 cm or 5'4"
non-Hispanic Asian: ~157 cm or 5'2"
Hispanic: ~158 cm or 5'2"

What's a tall woman? Let's say anything over the 75th percentile. For American women aged 20-60, that would be:

non-Hispanic white: ~168 cm or 5'6"
non-Hispanic black: ~167 cm or 5'6"
non-Hispanic Asian: ~161 cm or 5'3.5"
Hispanic: ~162 cm or 5'4"

What's a short woman? Let's say anything under the 25th percentile. For American women aged 20-60, that would be:

non-Hispanic white: ~160 cm or 5'3"
non-Hispanic black: ~159 cm or 5'2.5"
non-Hispanic Asian: ~153.5 cm or 5'0.5"
Hispanic: ~153.5 cm or 5'0.5"

What's really tall? The 95th percentile in height for American women aged 20-60:

non-Hispanic white: ~174 cm or 5'8.5"
non-Hispanic black: ~173.5 cm or 5'8"
non-Hispanic Asian: ~166 cm or 5'5"
Hispanic: ~153.5 cm or 5'6.5"
