      Because a lot of entitled assholes will later complain when they are unable to eat their food because it’s too spicy.

      They are used to white folk with bland palate that think black pepper is too hot. I love Indian, and Thai and make the curries from scratch with high spice level. when I go out and ask for hot/Spicy they doubt me, so my Indian friend vouches for me, then they make it spicy.

        I had this problem at an Indian place near me (though I am of carrib descent, not white). I wanted to go light just in case, so I asked for 6 or 7 out of 10. I couldn’t taste any spice. I make hotter stuff at home daily. It was frankly an insult.

          Oh Carribean, I had a great dish in Windsor, Ontario once and had the 10. It was hot, but not compared to real spice level it should have been…At least I don’t think
