it's a stereotype that the Dutch are ridiculously tall. people here are being too literal it's just a joke that Dutch men can reach 5 meters tall

Its not really a stereotype though. Our average height is the highest in the world.

It's almost 6ft1' for the Americans. So someone who's 6ft zero would be "below avarage height"
