You're basically saying that our short people bring down our average height. What does it matter that we're heterogeneous and other countries are more homogeneous? All of our minorities are part of the whole.Not many countries have the racial diversity of the US so no, its not easy to compare. Look at academics. Who does the US always get compared to and show to be "Falling behind"? Mostly racially homogenous countries.
Short people do bring down our average height though..You're basically saying that our short people bring down our average height. What does it matter that we're heterogeneous and other countries are more homogeneous? All of our minorities are part of the whole.

I know that my ancestors on my dads side owned slaves, I feel no guilt whatsoever about that.
Ditto. My ancestors were quite the clan in Scotland circa AD1100-1300's.. One was killed by Robert the Bruce. The Brits are prob why we eventually ended up in the states by the late 1700's.Literally all of our ancestors did something bad or had something bad happen if you dig far enough. I’ll be putting in for some reparations from England since I’m predominantly of Irish ancestry.
Bruce swayed back and forth to the British more than we did. I forget the formal titles and roles even though I brushed up on it recently, but around that time mine were "guardians" so to speak of several castles whih put them in protective charge of various regions or locales you might say. I was reading of the historical account of where Bruce assassinated an individual at a church under the guise of meeting for something. THe assassinated would be one of my ancestors, John the Red Comyn (Cummins/Cumming). At some point, the Comyn clan was "decommisioned" and targeted. Such was that life. Wasn't Braveheart, but I was watching another similar movie or docu-series that actually had that scene in it...pretty neat. Another ancestor and his wife were the original bootleggers that provdied what is the present day Scotch brand Cardhu. Just found that out recently. Alas, we just evolved into mere commoners these days.If they were killed by the Bruce does that mean they were fighting on the side of England at that time?
