I already said it earlier, but Rice was a major crop in the pre civil war south. There is even a varietal names after the Carolinas. Assuming only Asians eat rice is kinda racist.
To be clear, I’m not saying you’re racist, but the assumption is. I don’t know you, and you’re probably a decent person.
Also, Native Americans have been harvesting wild rice here for a long time.
I share because rice is a pretty neat crop that has spanned multiple cultures!
The first western country in this list are the USA (placed 20th by total consumption), while also being the western country with the biggest population of people coming from countries ranked higher (mostly asian, and some south american).

So no, saying that asian and south american food culture includes more rice is not racist, it’s a proven fact. Also native americans do only represent around 1.3% of the total population (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States), while indian americans make up around 1.6% of the population, and asians in general around 7.24% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Americans).
