I like that cultures that make spicy food, usually have a "mild" for their fellow countrymen, and a special "mild" for white people.

The white person mild.

I think that's hilarious.

For the record, I'm white and I appreciate having white person mild as an option.

I get frustrated because I LOVE super-spicy food, but every time I go to a new Asian or Indian restaurant and ask for 5/5 spicy they're like, "We'll make you a 2/5" just to be safe because I'm very, very white.

I have literally never had food served to me at a restaurant that was too spicy for me. I've basically damaged my tongue with all the spicy food I eat, and I literally don't perceive Sriracha as being any spicer than banana pudding.

Genuine question: Are there many people who really perceive Sriracha as spicy? I never thought that it's meant to be really spicy, but more like a 'chili-flavored' sauce.

It's ketchup with a chili flavor.

There are people who find it so spicy it ruins their day if it gets on their tongue.

I mean, sure. There are a few sensitive people for everything. I once met someone who found even regular curry powder super spicy. I was just wondering about the statement above, because in my experience Sriracha is the absolute entry level when it comes to 'hot' sauces.

I’ve had that happen at a few places as well, it’s pretty annoying. I’m also really short, and so I’ve had one restaurant swap what I actually ordered to whatever the closest equivalent on their kids’ menu is lol
