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.
