Are Latinos and Asians getting taller in recent generations?

[ChicanaChick]

I've been running into a couple Latinos and Asians that were much taller. I knew a 6'2 Mexican man, a 5'8 Colombian woman and a couple others on the taller side. Yesterday, I just ran into a very tall Chinese couple at my workplace. The man was 6'4 and the woman (on very low heels) was like 5'9 or 5'10.

Is this a new growing trend? Either they used to be much shorter or they are suddenly growing? Is this a new phenomenon?

actually... what I've noticed, at least here in my region

college kids are smaller than ever in general

"my generation" used to be way taller on average, than everyone else already in college... but these newer generations going into college and universities, not only they act like they're 16... but they also look way younger and smaller

but again, these are just generalizations, lol

Strange. I wish they all must have short genes like in my case. No one in my family is on the tall side.

[NathanDavis]

why would you want shorter people in the world... lol

Everybody is, because food is available in abundance almost everywhere.

[ChicanaChick]

Indeed. People take better care of themselves.

Not that I have noticed, but I find it kind of weird to notice people's heights. Unless you are a midget or a lanky giant, who cares?

[ChicanaChick]

I envy them to be honest. I always wondered what it's like being tall. They have a nice height, great genes. I don't have anyone tall in my family, ugh.

there are more north eastern Chinese immigrants in the US in recent years. they are very tall groups of Chinese.

I believe humans all over the world are getting taller.

[ChicanaChick]

Hopefully
