[quote=Anonymous]Good lord it is because of changing demographics. PERIOD. I’m a 5’4” Jewish woman and I clearly remember being by far the shortest girl in my Midwestern high school filled with mostly ethnic German, Slavic and Scandinavian descent kids. My friends all toward over me at 5’7” at a minimum. As soon as I moved to the East Coast for college, where my classmates were also Jewish, Asian, Italian and Irish, boom I was average height. Yes there are tall Jews and Italians and quite a few Irish and even Asians, but on a whole they are shorter than Norwegians and Serbians. Add in indigenous people from El Salvador and the average American height it going to get shorter. This isn’t rocket science and there is no need for conspiracy theories on this one.[/quote]
