This recent online piece offers an interesting commentary on the limited viewpoint being expressed in Humans of New York--a commentary that might well throw light on similar limitations in the fictional depictions that people have been discussing here.

The writer of the Gawker piece would argue that the perceived similarities and differences are in the service of supporting the limited world view of one photographer, and not generally revealing of a truly wide range of truly different kinds of people.
