This relates to anyone born in a Western nation. Even if they came at a young age they are disqualified.

It’s amazing what a proper western diet and a stress free life does to the Somali physique. Somali kids around my neighbourhood at the age of 14-16 are already 6 foot tall. Numerous kids are pushing 190cm and plus. Especially Somali girls as well, I know at least 4-5 females that are taller than 6ft. The average height has to be around 178-180cm and I’m not exaggerating.

Regarding weight. A lot are still skinny and tall. But you will also find many to be big boned and thick. They usually the same size as their Western counterparts. Somalis are still skinny because we still eating nothing but small serve size of protein voided diets with poor sources of quality carbohydrates. The basic banana and rice or just pasta. The closer to the Western diet the bigger they are.

Even the Somalis and even Ethiopians for example in my area use to fight with the Pacific Islanders and hold their own. One of the most feared person if not two people back in the days were 2 Somali boys.

The Somalis will reach full potential within 2 generations

This is what i've been discussing with my peers too. Somalis living thoroughly like westerners are healthier and fitter. The best swimmer in my old school was a Somali girl, she was so athletic she could put most Somalis to shame. But her dhaqan though Its like soomaalinimadaa ku yarayd...ah well nobodys perfect.

If your idea of measuring potentials is saying a person's potentials are equivalent to that person's height and weight then those potentials are superficial and not to mention retarded.

There is a lot of athletic second generation Somalis. Hopefully they don’t follow the same role as the first generation and not chasing their dreams.

I don't know what it's like in Oceania but where I am in Canada, Somalis born in Somalia and here are about the same height and size. I was born in Canada and am only 5'7".

I was born in the U.S and raised in Canada. Alhamduilah I haven't been exposed to "cow steroids." I mean Bovine Growth Hormone, its illegal in Canada but legal in the U.S. It's the primary reason Americans are fatter, taller and experience precocious puberty.

I wonder if that's what they feed you Aussies? I read somewhere that they put hormone growth promotants in cattle to speed up their growth in New Zealand. Perhaps the same goes for humans that consume beef products (that live there).
