No, people of other nationalities are generally the same; some are capable of more than others, and those that come to do backbreaking manual work are those who know they can do it. But kids nowadays spend lot of time sitting on their bum. We used to walk to school; I have no recollection of ever being driven. The car only came out of the garage when we went for trips, or in the winter when my father drove to work. But in summer he more often cycled. After school we kids would go out to play = run, swim, climb trees or cycle in summer, and ski, skate or go on nearby slope with our sled in the winter, plus I used to do gymnastics, ballet, taking horse riding lessons, played table tennis, and in one time I did bit of rowing; basically all physical activities. To ski it meant climbing the mountain, and then ski down, no lifts. There was no TV until after dinner IF there was something my parents approved off. I did also do some art and language classes in one time, but predominantly the time out of school was spent in physical activity. Now kids spend awful lot of time on computer and watching TV; and parents drive them to school; there is NO way they have the same overall fitness that we had.
But even then, some people were more physically fit than others. If you think that we all are capable equally maybe you think you would be able to do the Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon? Actually, picking strawberries or anything, bent over all day long is quite backbreaking.
