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.

    I wonder how this correlates with ethnic diversity in the population?

    Is the Netherlands average high because of a lack there and are the UK and US lower because of greater ethnic diversity in the population?

        Shit Americans say.

        There are more than 600 ethnic groups[2] in the multicultural Indonesian archipelago, making it one of the most diverse countries in the world.

          Ethnicity: the quality or fact of belonging to a population group or subgroup made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent.

          That doesn’t mean they have 600 genetic lineages.

            It seems you forgot you were talking to somebody outside of your moron country, and forgot that they would actually give a damn about your feelings over facts.

          Pointing out the number for one country and not the other doesn’t demonstrate anything.

          I looked it up and it does seem that there’s more diversity in Indonesia than in the US, according to the below Wikipedia article. Hopefully next time we can share information without being hostile. :)

            I didn’t reply to you. I replied to another account. The ethnicity figures for the US are as equally easy to find on the internet as the ones I posted (I found them on Wikipedia). You did not even bother to find those figures in your passive aggresive response, which is not even a response, since I replied to a different account.

            Could you focus some of that passive aggressivenesss on actually finding out the figures you are so passively aggressively defending? Or is that an impossibility?

        I’m confused. Wouldn’t that support the theory?

        If lower in ethnic diversity and native Indonesians are naturally short then Indonesia would be shorter on average. Whereas the US, being such a melting pot, would have a greater range of heights bringing the overall average down, right?

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