Hmmm

The other day when I was in my local Mexican place for dinner I had a newly highered waiter. Not there aren't many Latin/Mexicans in my area but every employee in there was of some Latin decent, but it doesn't bother me one bit (and shouldn't bother anyone period.) Anyway, my new waiter was young but seemed about 27, something around there but not 30. He had some beefy arms and you could slightly see his pecs through his shirt. He had on a Hollister shirt...a tight Hollister shirt. I own the same shirt myself and I noticed on his that his sleeves (short sleeves) had small tears around the edges. Mine didn't. I also noticed on his that the two buttons on the front were gone, just pieces of string remained. Kinda made me wonder what he would have looked like if he was really thick...did I mention he was also only about 5'5-5'6? Have there been any really big Latin bodybuilders? I haven't seen any and they seem like a small-statured race to me.

Man it must be where you are living because I have seen some HUGE bodybuilders of latin descent. Small statured race I definitely think not. People used to think the same thing of people of oriental/japanese descent, but I have also seen some big muscled men of those descents as well as they are usually 2nd and 3rd generation (and talk about HOT!). Check the web and you will see. We are a very homogenized society and are becoming moreso everyday...

Bring on the big guys of all races and creeds!!! YEAH!

I agree.....come to the New York City area. Plenty of jacked up Latinos. Go to Gold's Gym on 54th on a Saturday late morning / early afternoon. There is a pair of hispanic male dancers that also compete. If you are lucky you might catch them in the locker room after their workout checking out their progress.

also - there was a hispanic dude at Crunch on Broadway.

they may not be the tallest (the crunch guy couldnt have been more than 5' 3" but freakin jacked, packed, ripped, tight - it was like each muscle was going to burst through his skin!) but not only are they capable of building some awesom physiques they have the added advantage of that perfect skin tone / color and many have absolutely killer looks

MUY CALIENTE

One thing you'll notice is that people immigrating to the US from countries with significantly worse economies from ours often suffer from some sort of malnutrition(atleast, compared to the norm here), and will be shorter than usual. Wait a few generations, it evens out(ie the tallest dude in my class in freshman year of high school was Irish; I remember because he was 6 feet at 14 O_o). It's even better in countries in Europe where a lot of services are run and paid for by the gov't(I don't remember whether it's Denmark, Norway, or someplace else); as it turns out, the amount the economic prosperity is spread out across the populace is a good indicator of average height.
