TL:DR - Americans aren't getting taller, but this idea that we are is about circumstance and location. Here in Brooklyn there are plenty of short white guys. They outnumber the tall easily.
I completely believe this. Here on Wall Street, the vast majority of Stockbrokers are at or above 6 feet. There are short ones but they are vastly outnumbered. In a lot of white collar jobs I see the same thing. Here is the thing though. I believe that the sexual selection and heightism intercept in the business world.
When I walk through New York, there are PLENTY of short men everywhere, but they are not working the top jobs. There is a weak correlation between height and intelligence, but I believe that employers are selecting for height as women are in dating. People just don't talk about this stuff.
A good example is this 90s documentary where this employer is candid about hiring a good looking tall man for his company
My mother is taller than I am which is the ultimate trick god could play on a man. She only dates taller men of course and always has something negative to say about shorter men forgetting that her own son is, well... short.
