No, a survey carried out in 2004 in the US by the National Centre for Health Statistics shows that, as of 2002, non-hispanic whites in the US are roughly 0.5 inches taller than African Americans on average over the entire age spectrum. Hispanics in the US are around 2 inches shorter than whites.

Note this report only applies to the US, where the population that identifies itself as white is approximately 1% black on average and the population that identifies itself as black is 17% white on average.

White Europeans tend to be significantly taller than white Americans on average (about 0.5 inches) and black Africans tend to be much smaller, but varying by region within Africa (west Africans being taller than east Africans. Poor nutrition in African countries is the most probable reason for the short stature of black Africans.

The following would be a approximate order of height:

White Europeans: 5'11

White Americans: 5'10.5

African Americans: 5'10

Black Africans: 5'7.5

It is estimated that the shortest population in the world is in North Korea, where adult males are on average little over 5'1''
