    We have to realize that real-life height doesn't equate to in-game height.

    Male Midlanders can go up to 5'11", and while that's a good height in real life, it's short in this game. There are many other races that go well over 6'1", such as Roegadyn, male Au Ra, Hrothgar, and Elezen. Even the tallest Midlander would seem short by comparison. So while a 6'1" male Viera would sound dreamy in real life, he would be much shorter by this game's standards.

    Look at this chart.



    If max height male Viera turn out to be the same size as male Midlander or similar, they wouldn't count as a tall race. They would be another short male race.
    Midlander are the average, both male and female. Roe and Au Ra are outliers, elezen would be tall. This chart should look more like this (my edit):



    If we are going to argue "representation", short males are actually the ones who are underrepresented in this game.


    Count max height Elezen as "the outlier", missed that in my edit.
