Is 5’6” short for a girl?

I know 5’4” is average where I live (USA), but I’m white and in my 20s. I know that white people tend to be taller than other ethnicities and younger generations tend to be taller than older generations. So I want to know if I’m short based on my age and ethnicity. I hope I’m not short. I really want to be kind of tall but not outrageously tall. I wish I was more like 5’7” or 5’8”.

5'6 isn't short

I know it’s above average in my country, but the average includes all ethnicities and age groups. Young white people tend to be taller than other demographics. So I was wondering if I’m short for my age and ethnicity. I want to be kind of tall.

Ya I know 5’4” is the average, but that number includes all ages and ethnicities. Young white people tend to be taller than other demographics. I’m white and in my 20s. That’s why I was asking if I’m short for my age and ethnicity.
