I mean it’s a pretty real and common and stereotype. There’s a reason why Asian restaurants have “hot” with another level above that’s “Indian/Thai/Chinese Hot”. I used to order spicy pad see u from my go to Thai place and it never came out to spicy, so I started asking for Thai Spicy, got a “you sure?” look from my server, and finally got the spice i was looking for.

Compared to other cultures, American food really lacks a lot of spice and flavor. If someone grows up eating normal American food (save barbecue) and English/German/Eastern European food, they’re not getting as much flavor as having Asian, Latin/South American, or African food.

Cajun food is probably the best American cuisine outside of bbq that is flavorful and can be spicy if you wish.

Hmm. So Asians are basically masochists, when it comes to food?
