Im South African and Loy is not average height. He is short but yeah South Africans are generally shorter than most Africans. He Freaken killed it. So proud of him

[@compton8301]

You don't even know how short he is though. 🙄

[@bigboss3583]

According to WHO, South African men are number 10 on the African continent. Where did you get the information that the majority of SA men are shorter then most Africans?

[@allhaildrewzavic2838]

@@bigboss3583 I'm South African. I live here. On average most of our fellow African brothers and sisters on average in my experience have bigger and more muscular physiques. Now admittedly I'm not using stats and Im probably using West Africans as the measuring stick. But thats my personal experience as someone who lives here and has traveled Africa pretty extensively. Im 1,78m not sure what that is in feet. Im not particularly tall at all. I'd say Loy gets to my chest in height. All this of course is irrelevant. The jokes are still funny and if you ask most people in SA i think they would agree with my assessment

South Africa has some of the best comedians 😂 he had me crying of laughter literally. He looks like Trevor and hopefully he’ll get the same exposure because he has the talent. Africa is the only continent where people don’t understand that we have poor and rich people. I’ve seen more homeless and poor people in America than I did growing up in Africa, and I’m also from National Geographic Africa but people didn’t struggle for food and housing, and we’re constantly improving like other continents.

He was joking about "the ones that didn't make the boat," but he's absolutely right. African Americans are bigger and stronger on average because of both natural selection during the brutal slave trade and because they literally used to breed us.

[@sekwanelesekwa3882]

African Americans are definitely bigger and taller

[@sekwanelesekwa3882]

@Fìfì Fẹ́mi I don't why you would assume that I don't know that Africa is a continent. I live in that continent.

[@SpamNeggs23]

@Fìfì Fẹ́mi tell her. She’s out here embarrassing us. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@sekwanelesekwa3882]

@Fìfì Fẹ́mi bold of you to assume that I'm a girl. I stand with what I said. I'm not saying that they are taller and bigger than every African (thats stupid if you think that) but on average with many countries in Africa I feel and see that they are bigger and taller or maybe I'm just looking at it in my perspective being a South African. I'm not saying I'm right but with what I've observed they are bigger because of the type of people that were selected to be slaves (tall, big & strong etc). So obviously their off spring will take those genes from their parents

[@rigbyrigbone5407]

@Fìfì Fẹ́mi It's a generalisation, subjective but mostly correct, for example West Africans tend to be bigger and taller than those of the South, a great majority of slaves were taken from thatgenetic pool so so black Americans do tend to be bigger particularly when we look at the difference in diet.
