as a white guy, i think it is absolutely hilarious how often some (most) white people cant handle spices. my dad a few months ago said the McDonalds breakfast sausage was kinda spicy and it made me lol

There was an interesting culture and food documentary I watched that noted the reason why white people generally don't have heavily spiced dishes is due to the quality of food that was historically available to them. Which sadly does seem the case, The cultures with spicy food generally are the ones that were late on the refrigeration access, if they have it yet at all. So it makes sense that they would bury the... lets say, lack of freshness in taste, with a lot of spicy seasonings. Plus, white people who were poor couldn't afford spices back in the day, so that probably added to it as well.
