I figured it would be hard to determine statistically, but figured it was worth mentioning for consideration.

The UK has a population that’s 72% British/Irish. The Netherlands has a population that’s 74% Dutch.

The 5 largest ethnic groups in the United States are White (Non-Hispanic) (58.2%), Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (12%), Two+ (Hispanic) (6.84%), Other (Hispanic) (6.11%), and Asian (Non-Hispanic) (5.75%).%20(5.75%25).)

There are lots of factors that can influence height but about 80% of an individual’s height is determined by genetics and certain populations, like those in the Dinaric Alps (including parts of Eastern Europe), are predisposed to taller statures.

For example, Uganda is generally considered the most ethnically diverse country and the average male height there is 5’ 6.4" which is really close to the global average. Correlation by itself doesn’t equal causation but it’s a good place to start.
