Never noticed in in Lake Charles or BR, but have definitely noticed this phenomenon in Lafayette. Cajuns are shorter in general.

I'm 5'11, and the shortest out of all of the men in my family. It goes from me to 6'5. I even had a grandma and aunt who were taller than me

Obviously there are tall guys here, but for the most part, dudes have dark hair and are a bit shorter.
You notice it with the guys that have a bit darker complection. It's all the French, Spanish, Italian ancestry.

Are your grandparents on your moms side relatively short?

I've noticed the opposite in Lafayette.
Well at least the guys. I'm 5'11, and most guys I see around here make me feel incredibly short. Granted I only see a small sample size, often repair or service workers.

It just be like that sometimes.
Although I still am only 19, and my dad was 5'8 when he was 18 but grew to 6 foot by the time he was 21.
But I havent grown since I was 15 so I think im done.

One of my buddies was around 5'8 getting out of high school, and 6'3 by the time he was 21. Just keep eating your Wheaties

My brother is 6'1. My dad was 5'9". My brother's son, who is in 9th grade is just barely taller than my brother. My other nephew (my sister's son) is around 5'9 and his dad is a little bit taller than he is.

5'6" from thibodaux. I'm built for chunking hay bales

I'm somewhere between 6'2 and 6'3 and I'm the shortest male on my dad's side. My dad was 6'4 (he's shrunk a bit) and his dad was 6'6.
My mom is a Midwesterner though and dad's family has only been here a few generations. We definitely aren't cajun or anything.
