Anglos mixed with blacks in their colonies more than Iberians did

Americans are the king of mixed race babies. In the 90's a black and white couple was still borderline unthinkable. Now you're racist if you prefer your own race.

Depends, some africans are very tall. I think the Maasai are very tall on average for example.

Seriously did you not never heard of black-Anglo couple in USA before the XX century??

You should read something about Thomas Jefferson then

And I could not care about when happened this mix, if before or later than the XX century.

There is no country in Africa that has average height higher than 1.80m maybe neither 1.78m.

Well, they are mostly undernourished, you cannot expect them to be on the same level as people who eat everyday, hehe. But West Africans have incredible genetic potential to be tall, just look at African football teams, they are always very strong and tall.

They are probably under studied. Not sure which kind of africans there are where you live but i wouldn't say they are a short race. Never heard of them stereotyped like that either.
