        I mean, mexican spicy is way above white spicy. Hell, some white people consider pepper to be spicy. To be fair, mexican spice is still kinda low on the scale compared to thai etc.

          That’s because spicy has multiple meanings. The numbing of pepper is spicy but not hot spicy.

          You’ll find white people in Mexico.

            Yeah, white-boy spicy is an imperfect term, but helpful to stop an Anglo unused to high levels of chilli from having a bad time.

        My grandpa thought black pepper, as in salt and pepper, was too spicy. White guy born in 1933 in Australia, “ethnic food” didn’t arrive in his world for a while.
