Comment on Look out its the D*tch
serenissi@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoNot 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 than 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.
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).

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 [this](List of countries by ethnic and cultural diversity level - Wikipedia share.google/FjsTKS2646pSzXJnc) 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 doesn’t, you fucking nazi.

Stated a fact. Sounds like you the one with the hurt feels. OTOH, seems you’re dumb enough to believe Indonesia has 600 sets of distinct DNA. Did you even reply to the right comment?!
