This could have something to do with it: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/102688/filipinos-second-shortest-in-southeast-asia
Ave height of Filipino males is 162 cm, females is 150 cm.
Global average height of males is 173 cm, females is 160 cm.
Ave height of American males is 176 cm, females is 162 cm.
Ave height difference of 14 cm (5.5 inches) relative to Americans is pretty tough to overcome.
I'm having a hard time believing that the average American male is only 5' 9". It seems like I don't see that many dudes that are less than 5'6" but I see plenty taller than 6'0".
Edit: Maybe the mean male height.
