Personally, I think it's fine to eat whatever way you can/want. The problem is that so many white people use spice as a signifier for otherness, and love to use food and taste to police whatever poc cook or eat, or what spaces we're allowed to occupy, as with everything else we do. It's like when I say "men are always xyz", even though I know some wonderful men who don't do xyz.

Individual white people who don't eat spicy food for whatever personal reasons? I have no beef with y'al. White people as a category complaining about our food? Get bent crakkkers.

This is also just a meme, so I should chill, even though i make my living out of overthinking food stuff.

Hope your condition improves, as much as it can, though!
