Yeah, as a partly-white guy, I can be sensitive about “WHITE PEOPLE BAD” comments, but this? It’s a history joke. No one actually thinks that there is a secret lust for spices lurking inside of the White Man™ that drives him to crimes of passion.
I think it works as a joke precisely because it comes out of left field.
No one is expecting to equate some dude who needs to share a room with a powerful and wealthy British Lord from 2 centuries ago, but you would expect the ex-roomates to be sour with each other (hence why they became ex-), so you’re kinda of expecting a mildly vindictive jab or two.
If this was early 1900’s England, it’d be a case for a “ooooph, too soon bro…”, but by now it’s fair play on my book.
As a white guy who takes spices seriously: hahahaha.
Why are you getting your panties in a bunch?
