Americans look tall, but as American culture requires above all cinema is certainly a skewed vision. I've never been to the United States, and if we exclude cities like New York or Los Angeles where there are a lot of foreign tourists I dont think they are so tall. Especially as AfroAmericans are not tall (except for basketball) and Latinos less. And there is a big asian communauty 
The celebrities are lying, like Jimmy Fallon this drugged pig. And sports men are often above the average

What about Jimmy Fallon? He seems to be the 6" he claims to be.

don't think, he looks average so maybe 5'10 5'11 (maybe I'm wrong but I know some 6footer and they look taller so I would be surprised)
but the biggest liar is Rhett who claims 6'7 / 6'8 but looks significally shorter than 6'7"25 (now 6'9 with shoes) listed Kevin Love  https://www.instagram.com/p/tI9Oc1w7Sy/?taken-by=rhettmc that's the proof even tall guys add centimeters

I digress ...

As an American, I partly blame Hollywood & the media for the height obsession that seems to have infected the world.

I've been to almost every state in the USA, 5'9-5'10 is correct for an average young white male.

Blacks are shorter by an inch or 2 on average compared to whites. Asians are shorter by an inch or 3 on average compared to whites. Hispanic men are shorter by more like 3 inches on average.

One of the reasons I didn't even realize I was 'short' for most my life was I grew up in an area where white was the minority (mostly Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks)

And most of my romantic success has been with Hispanic and Asian women. Very, very little romance with white girls. I can only assume that is height related.

This is a thought I had too. Today, to be a respected star have to be tall, and tall in Hollywood is at least 6'1. See how Tom Cruise is humiliated with photomontages. The other problem is the social networks that feed it all.
But this is not new, The Duke is suspected to have worn lift with his cowboy shoes (new proof that even tall guys can be insecure)
As the study shows, Asians are not so small that people think except in the poorest countries. Conversely, in Belarus, which must be one of the poorest in Europe the average is still high country.
