Yes, it is. Check out the stats on average height by country. There is a 10" difference between the lowest and the highest
The list is about tall men. Excluding short men from it hardly seems like bias. It's like complaining that a list of the world's tallest trees doesn't have any representatives from Saudi Arabia on it; it's not bias because Saudia Arabia simply doesn't have any really tall trees in it (I'm assuming for purposes of argument, anyway).
No, you miss the point. A notably tall Arabian tree would be much shorter than a notably tall Dutch tree, but still notably tall for an Arabian tree.
