    But for people of Asian heritage. It’s not like European americans eat considerable amounts of rice.

      NGL, that’s… pretty racist?

      Food trends in the US are almost entirely regional, not racial, and even if what you’re asserting is true… 45% of the population of my state are from cultures whose cuisine involves large amounts of rice (hispanic and asian). The US as a whole eats a fair amount of rice. It’s not every dish nor nearly as much as in several other countries, but it’s not even a little bit uncommon.

        You’re saying that what I say is racist, and proceed to tell me that rice consumption is regionally high in the US, for example in your area where you have 45% latino and asian population.

        I mean ok. Could it be that I am going to Walmart, Kroeger, Target and other supermarkets, and the only ones selling rice in conveniently sized containers are asian supermarkets like the local indian store or the H-Mart? No. Must be racist.
