Obviously there are some cases where this doesn't apply; the classic example of the idiot savante, but genetic disorders and other similar things tend to exaggerate the number of outliers (such as dwarfism or giantism when you're looking at a distribution of heights), and are in such comparatively small numbers that they can be safely ignored.
Welcome to the post-19th century era, you should read some works by Franz Boaz.

I knew Venuezela was in South America, I just wasn't sure which one of Brazi'ls satellites it was.
