why are mexicans so short?

Question

why are they soooooo short. Is it in a mexicans genes to be short?

Answer 1

HERE'S A THOUGHT. WHEN I WAS IN GUAM, I LEARNED THAT THE JAPANESE IN WORLD WAR II KILLED OFF ALL
WHO WERE TALLER THAN THEM AND THOSE MORE EDUCATED. THE TALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY
HAVE BEEN MADE RULERS, KINGS, LEADERS OF THEIR
THEIR PEOPLE.

SAME WITH THE MEXICAN PEOPLE. WHEN THE SPANISH
CAME OVER, AND REALLY CONQUERED THEM, THEY WIPED OUT ANYONE TALL AND THE LEADING CLASS. ALSO,
GOT RID OF ANYONE SHOWING "ANY SMARTS" (CAN'T CONTROL THEM).

ALSO, YOU WILL NOTICE, THE MAJORITY OF THE MEXICANS
WHO ARE SHORT HAVE A LOT OF INDIAN IN THEM(AZTEC, INCA, AND "AMERICAN INDIAN-LIKE APACHE, COMMANCHE)

NOW IN LATER YEARS, AFTER THE SPANISH TOOK CONTROL OF MEXICO, THEY MARRIED THE "NATIVE PEOPLE" AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE FAIR COMPLECTED
AND TALL AND TALLER. ALSO, THEY KNOW THE VALUE OF
A GOOD EDUCATION. NOT ALL BUT, A BETTER THAN AVERAGE AMOUNT.
IN MEXICO CITY YOU WILL SEE THIS FACT. THE MEXICAN
PEOPLE HAVE PRETTY FEATURES.
I AM WHITE--I WENT ACROSS THE BORDER HERE IN TEXAS, I WAS DETAINED BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS
FROM CENTRAL MEXICO. THAT WAS A SCARY MOMENT.
IT WAS THEN, I STARTED LOOKING AROUND TO SEE THE
DIFFERENCES. INTERESTING, HUH?

Answer 2

Their jeans are so short because their legs are short....;-)

The genes can cause people to be either tall or short, some people have ancestors that are taller and so they have more of a chance of being tall.
I would say you are stereotyping, "mexicans are so short" thats like saying "all asians are short" Yao Ming is extremely tall... check your facts NOT all mexicans are short.

Answer 3

As there is very little quantity of people of real native of America. British come to that place and start living. And also people right over the world. Some are african who look like african and their colour are also black. Same to mexicans they look like chinese or japanese and they come from that place and there giens are those , that is why they are short. Some mexicans are long because there giens has been change after marriage in others.

Answer 4

How many mexicans do you know are like that? Two? In my family the men and women are well over 6 feet. Why are you so short minded?

Answer 5

Answer 6

Heritage ! Mayan Indians and the Incas

Answer 7

Your question sounds bit racist to me. There are short people in every society and every race of mankind. Just because they are the main illegal problems is NOT the reason to say or ask things like this.

DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS

ENGLISH ONLY IN AMERICA

Answer 8

Same reason Asians are short.

Answer 9

a lot of poor south american countrys have a lot of short people because all of the citizens dont have enough money to stay well fed, so they dont grow very much.

Answer 10
