The fact that he is a Westerner or that he has a "common deficiency" makes him "subtly unadaptable" to life in the East.
"I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all—Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life."
