If 6 inches is ‘a little bit’ then sure.

"Western" nations average 5'9" to 6', so yeah, Mandy (Inego) is about average height, like 2.5" taller than average for Spanish people.

That just depends on your geographical location and gender. He's not even above average where I come from, he's perfectly average. I feel pretty short at 5'10".

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Average is 5'10". 6' is 2" above that, not 6".

You’re going to need to specify what demographic you’re talking about when you say average. The global average is 5‘6“.

Men in the U.S. (Mandy Patinkin is American, despite playing a Spaniard in that movie.)

The global average includes a bunch of Asian countries that are significantly shorter. Average in the west is taller than that.
