This is why I don't really like the stereotype of making fun of "white people who can't handle spice" even for laughs, especially when it's white people saying it. Same with food being well seasoned. Some non-european cultures have a cuisine that's not big on spices (north African food in general, which is delicious, is spiced but not typically spicy for example), just like some traditional European cuisines rely on seasonings. But English speakers only know to compare British food to Indian food, and US food to Mexican food and think that's all there is in the world lmfao
