Do you consider Russians and Ukrainians Ashkis? Because they are often pretty tall but I don't think they're considered Ashkenazi. That being said, your friend group is still abnormal, as I said, the average height for men here is 175 and for women it's 163.
well the tallest one is actually a Christian Arab but yee
and idk, I think they are Ashkis? I mean they are usually huge but I don't know, always read that they ARE Ashkis, if they're not, what are they? I mean the Jewish Russian and Ukrainian people, not the ones that imigrane nowadays and Christian and.. idk
It's really complicated but, to the extent of my knowledge, Ashkenazim are those that come from Germany and the surrounding area, so I don't think Russians and Ukrainians count but it depends on peoples definition. Nowadays people refer to Ashkis as just generally northern, southern and eastern European Jews so I don't know.
