Alt text: Chart showing average height, but incorrectly scales the entire person instead of just the height, with the Netherlands as the tallest and Indonesians as the shortest. Bottom image is the Bane vs. Pink guy meme showing Bane as the Dutch and Pink guy as the Indonesians.

    If anything it says with increasing diversity height gets closer to global average which seems pretty reasonable.

      Isn’t global male height supposed to be about 5’ 7" on average? The closest to that on the graph is the US, which has a very diverse population.

      I’m still not understanding your original comment “Not necessarily. Ethnic diversity is higher in US than in Indonesia.”

      It seems like you’re saying ethnic diversity isn’t necessarily a consideration in why the heights of the UK and US are where they are but then support the theory with the next sentence pointing out the ethnic diversity of the US.

        The original comment says in NL height is more cause lack of diversity. J meant that’s not necessarily the case (ie lack of diversity =/=> taller).
