Text 3 May Don’t you get tired of eating rice?

Once at a party, I got asked that question from one of my Caucasian friends. I didn’t get all offended and everything. But I just told him NO, why would I? It’s not like rice is the main course, it’s the side, and we eat rice with our main dishes because the dishes maybe salty, spicy, or whatever flavor the dish is, and rice just compliments with it, and fill u up faster. And the only thing he replied was ‘OH’. 

The fact that people think it’s funny that a lot of Asian people eat rice for most of the days of the week, it isn’t. it’s part of our culture, who we are, and what out ancestors went through to even have rice to eat.

I guess next time someone or myself are going to ask something that is part of a culture, we should all just think twice before asking.
