The taller a guy is, the more attractive, intelligent, and successful he seems, right?
For white men, sure. For black men, not so much.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina recently discovered that tall black men are more likely to be viewed as threatening than tall white men. In fact, the study found, the taller a black man is, the more threatening he appears.
At 5-foot-4, police stopped 4.5 black men for every white man.
At 5-foot-10, police stopped 5.3 black men for every white man.
At 6-foot-4, police stopped 6.2 black men for every white man.
