      It’s really a statistics joke. If you assume both observations are independent, then yes, the most average name might be “Mohammad Wong.” But if there are other confounding factors, such as the mapping of names to ethnic groups, then the whole thing falls apart. Obviously Mohammad Wong is not the most common name on the planet.
