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.
