How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country?

Feel free to define "average" how you see fit. This isn't about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

I feel like I'm the least Mexican dude in Mexico:

  • I don't drink any alcohol, at all.
  • I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
  • I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
  • I can't eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
  • I don't watch football at all.
  • I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
  • I'm not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
  • I hate big family gatherings, while it's a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
  • I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I'm far from average.
  • I'm not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.

I guess some of the differences are because I'm autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I'm completely average.
