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.
We got you …. Pale white guy in the northeast US
- alcohol: yes, please
- hot sauce everywhere. Currently 9 varieties in use
- Mexican food is best food (although I may not have an accurate picture of what real people actually eat)
- Chile in everything, burritos every week. Regularly goto a Mexican restaurant (authentic enough that were frequently the only people speaking English and they bring us a special menu translated to English), occasionally Michoacán (I don’t know what the name says about authenticity, but it was great for hours of digging into history online)
- my teen got me interested in following soccer and my international co-workers have me calling it futbol
- same teen, plays Mexican music throughout the house, as one of his buddies on the team is from there
- love big family gatherings although we all live on different states now. Last week I did a 1,200 mile road trip to a family gathering
A little mix and match, and we can make one stereotypical Mexican and one stereotypical US white liberal
