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.
I said that the presumption that the amount of rice being consumed in the US is dependent on someone’s racial or ethnic subgroup and therefore excludes “European Americans” (which isnt a thing, really) is kinda racist - because it is. The idea that european-descended people don’t eat rice I mean… what on earth.
Anyways I think you misunderstood: My point with the ethnic makeup of my state, which is not markedly abnormal tho we do trend more brown than some, is to point out that even in the case that you were right (which to be clear you are not) that would still mean an absolutely staggering portion of the US population consumes rice.
Wait, your point is that it’s racist to say that americans of european descent eat less rice? Brother you need to touch grass asap.
Racism is systemic by nature, you can’t be racist towards white people in a majority white country. Also it’s really unclear to me how you can assume that eating less rice is supposedly something bad?
Just so we’re clear, what does racism mean to you? What are the consequences of racism against you, a white person, and what are the consequences of racism against, let’s say a black person, in the USA?
Nah man, I was serious, I’m not doing this with you. Your argument is flawed to where it could be easily used to justify Apartheid and I’m just. I don’t have the patience to deal with educating someone that doesn’t understand that “saying everyone of a certain descent behaves some way” is inherently racist. Sorry, but no.
Ok my guy, you really need to go out some more. And maybe read. Because it’s a fact that asian countries lead the world rice consumption, followed by mostly south american and african countries. Just look up rice consumption by country, or if you prefer look it up per capita. (https://worldostats.com/country-stats/rice-consumption-per-capita-by-country-2025-rankings/)
Now having established this fact (not a feeling, not racism, just a fact about rice consumption), and then considering that the USA has a considerable population of people originating from those countries, the conclusion that the majority of rice domestically consumed in the US is being consumed mostly by people of asian (and maybe south american) descent is not raciat, but simply supported by facts.
But reading what you write I assume that you are a white american of european descent, that does just like to feel offended.
NGL, that’s… pretty racist?

a bit of nuisance: you can’t be racist against whites in a white supremacist society.
Okay so that’s not what I said at all, but ignore that because:
There is just no point in continuing this discussion if you seriously think this, yikes.

Oh hey, trying to bait someone into engaging with your bonkers arguments by repeatedly insulting them, that’s a great look.
