There is a local Indian restaurant around the corner here. When I first moved I got some curry and picked the spiciest level. The community here is pretty white and the spiciest curry shows that because it was mild to me (my spice tolerance is ridiculous to most people). It tasted amazing but I was joking with the Indian dude (it was an Indian family owned restaurant) that was serving me that I feel like they gave me the white man's version and wondering how HE would eat it. Dude made it his mission to make me sweat. I didn't even ask for a new dish or anything but he just took it and came back with a new one that was HOT but me being that prideful ass I am joked I could go hotter. The next dish killed me. I finished it but I was dying and chugging water as they laughed. Still go to that restaurant regularly and they know to make it spicer than the menu but I never made the mistake of trying to out spice them again.

My favorite Indian dish is Chicken Vindaloo and I'm white as well. I work in tech and have spent some time in Mumbai at various different company's for work. One time I was out at a bar restaurant and ordered Vindaloo in Mumbai and I swear, all the guys (my colleagues) I was with were leaned in with big smiles watching me as it got served, and were literally disappointed it didn't bother me lol. They did get a good laugh because spicey food makes me sweat a little bit so it wasn't a total loss for them.
