I’d believe it if a good portion of black americans I’ve seen are tall and muscular, but I’d say their proportions are similar to their white american counterparts, i.e. a spectrum.
I think they just want it more, and its one of the few paths to success they have.
That actually can be explained by the slaves that used to live in the farmhouses. They were treated as an elevated status and allowed to eat more. Think like the “aunts” for the children; caretakers.
But they were exceptions, not the majority who were slaves/workers. You’d still expect a heavy selection bias for good body attributes
if you sampled them at random, assuming OP’s hypothesis is true.
