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.
That is an aggressively shitty way to present that data
Chart showing average height, but incorrectly scales the entire person instead of just the height, …
The sin committed here was that the y axis began at something other than zero. If you scaled just their height without fixing the y axis, everyone except the Dutch would look like little clay men getting squished by a hydraulic press.
Ohh that’s the reason why Dutch colonized Indonesia for so long
The Dutch are this tall because when the dams break they sti have their head above the water
chart only goes up to 6 foot even
I am taller than every Dutch person by 6 inches. 😤
Based on the body scaling in this chart you’re at least as tall as a two story house then.
Dutch with a 1" head? This graph makes no f*cking sense whatsoever
Is this taken from a DnD book where they replaced the text that would normally go as “Ogre, Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling”
Lol why are the british and americans so freaking short. I never understood why 6 foot was such a big fucking deal but apparently in hungary, one if the shortest non-southern nations in europe, its still much likelier that you are 6 foot than in the uk or usa. Yall are shorties, explains all the male insecurities /s
I’m not walking around measuring people… ever since the restraining order, but just looking around it seems like guys here in the US are around 5’10" or 5’11" on average. I’m 6’2" and don’t really feel tall.
Someone else guessed maybe it’s because of the higher proportion of people from other regions where average height in their place of birth (or parents’ or grandparents’ place of birth) is shorter. Makes sense to me that our immigrants and their offspring could be bringing down average height.
Maybe there is something to it but the uk for example has really low immigration and where i libe now in sweden, like one fourth of the population is recently immigrated people and even the immigrants are taller than youd expect tho there is a lot of mixing between people. I also think the immigration from for example the balkans could have actually pushed the average height up because croatians, serbians and even more so bosnians are tall af.
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?
Not necessarily. Ethnic diversity is higher in US than in Indonesia.
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.
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.
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?
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.
