To calculate how rare it is to be white and tall, let’s define what is meant by “tall” and combine the probabilities.
1. White Population:
• Globally: About 16% of the world’s population is white.
• In Europe: Around 90% of the population is white.
2. Tall Population:
Let’s assume “tall” refers to men who are 190 cm or taller, which is about the top 2% of height distribution in most Western populations.
Combining Both Factors:
• In Europe:
So, around 1.8% of the population in Europe is white and 190 cm or taller.
• Globally:
Globally, about 0.32% of the population is both white and 190 cm or taller.
Thus, being white and tall (190 cm or more) is relatively uncommon in Europe (1.8%) and quite rare globally (0.32%).
