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.
Ok, so I understand that but how does this fit in:
In the US, a country with greater ethnic diversity than Indonesia, the height is close to the global average, whereas in Indonesia it is significantly below. Correlation ≠ Causation but that statement does more to support the idea that ethnic diversity plays a role than it does to dispute it.
Same here. With increasing diversity (e.g. the US) height gets closer to global average versus a country with less diversity (“diversity is higher in US than in Indonesia”) where the average height is likely more representative of strictly ethnic Indonesians.
Again, I understand Correlation ≠ Causation but that’s why I posted my comment as a question rather than a statement. That maybe this graph is skewed because it fails to account for that diversity and instead of going by country it would make more sense to go by ethnic background?
