Us whiteys in SA are taller. They had to lengthen the Eland Armoured Vehicle because the base French Panhard AML couldn't easily take our lads...

The Dutch average height is over 6 foot and there's a fair amount of Dutch genes in the white community. No wonder Afrikaaners are generally so good at rugby. Genetics. Paarl Gym, Paarl Boys High, Afrikaans Boys High in Paris, Paul Roos, Monument, etc. Those kids are frikkin tall with thick builds and strong on another level.
