What do you mean by "ordinary?"
We tend to see people like ourselves as ordinary.
For my ancestors, white Midwestern farmers of northern European ancestry were ordinary.
For others, black slaves were ordinary people.
For the Irish, living in Eastern cities was ordinary.
For the Chinese-Americans, working in menial jobs such as building the railroad or working in laundries in the West was ordinary.
For native Americans, being uprooted and forced on to reservations or fighting for their lives was ordinary.
