 If you’re a food blogger who has ever said “Spanish rice” and “Mexican rice” are the same, you should be ashamed of yourself. 

I can’t believe how many Mexican rice recipes are described as Spanish rice.

Spanish rice uses saffron. 

Mexican rice is spicy.

Spain was a colonial oppressor of Mexico for hundreds of years and murdered millions. 

Stop sounding ignorant. If you don’t KNOW if there is a difference, look it up. #food #cooking #history #intelligence

 There’s probably valid trauma involved if they feel this strongly fyi 
 Mastodon retardation is so refreshing compared to Pleroma retardation.

Spanish colonizers introduced Asian rice to Mexico in the 1520s at Veracruz, and the Portuguese and their African slaves introduced it at about the same time to colonial Brazil.
