If it is Kenyans or their brothers and sisters a bit north in Ethiopia running marathons, I can't dispute.

No one can do that what they do with that consistency,

But making food? Building a car? Managing an event?

Do people in Rio call Mckinsey to organize a carnival every year? And trust me, you need to be a special kind of manager to manage a bunch of people hell bent on having fun at that scale.

Do I buy a bottle of French wine? No. I buy Chilean, Napa Valley and Australian wine.

You have a colonized mind. (I am not trying to offend you personally)
Colonized mind is these folks that look back to some places and they think: there is where the good stuff is.

Give you an example: I was in Argentina and I witnessed a Brazilian trying to by a fishing rod. The kind that has a reel on it.

Then he said to the shop keeper: "Oh, this is made here. I want an imported one"

The shop keeper gave him a lesson in what the product was all about. And I saw the Brazilian guy getting small and smaller and looking like an idiot!

And the shop keeper could not stop talking about the fishing rod, Said we export to all over the world where people have much more tradition in fishing than Brazil... The varnish, the ball bearings, I didn't know a fishing rod was all that thing he was telling the Brazilian about.

I kind liked the guy's lesson given to the colonized mind Brazilian. He was so ashamed that he bought that rod!
