In the Netherlands a 6'4" male is in the 94.6 percentile.

US: Tall: 98.9 Percentile

Netherlands: Kinda Tall: 94.6 Percentile

Kinda Tall is probably not something you'd call necessarily rare.

And if you check 6' 2'' (which is my height),

US: Kinda Tall: 94.6 Percentile

Netherlands: Above Average: 82.2 Percentile

So i think my point stands :)
