Of course, any nation is able to produce any kind of individual.
I'm a great believer in cultural traits, and I think they are normal. We are not all identical, and we are not all totally randomly different. We all share some cultural background from the country we grew up in, in varying degrees, and it does not prevent any individual from having any specific ability.
Yet, I was wrong to try to correlate a specific behavior of a specific person to his/her culture. That's where my logic was flawed.
If anyone wants more insight on cultural differences, I really recommend "When Cultures Collide" from Richard Lewis, it's a great book.
