Reminds me of a thing that I learnt a few years ago: There is no such thing as an average person. As soon as you look at more than a handful of statistics, noone is within 1 sd of the mean in all of them. The US air force found this out when trying to design a cockpit for the average person, and then found that noone could use it effectively. That’s why you should always design for the extremes, and then the design is better for everyone (see curb cut effect).
The average human is a Chinese guy named Mohammed Wang
The average married couple is Mohammed Wang and his wife Mary Li.
I think this says a lot about how non white people are literally whitewashed out of the world. white isn’t average it’s just dominant
And it’s not even genetically dominant! 😉
I remember when people were decrying the fact “The only role model our boys have is harry potter!” Because everything else was too female or foreign
I don’t remember that. When was it a thing?
I remember that. It was a thing in that people said it and appeared to believe it. It was not a thing in that Harry Potter was not ever at any point in history the “only role model” for boys.
Isn’t that kind of the point of everything everywhere all at once?
The average human also has more than 206 bones
And less than two legs and two arms…
And that number fluctuates, like right now I have chicken wings in the freezer.
Thank you for reminding me to take my bones out of the freezer. I like you!
