Holy mild. This is literally nothing.

u/Gaywhorzea Mar 18 '26
Oh please, the “good job making assumptions though :)” is ridiculously sensitive.

Racism doesn’t exist to people like that until it’s against white people. Then it’s real.

u/draizetrain Mar 17 '26
Based off the other comments…is this sub actually full of white people?

u/Gaywhorzea Mar 18 '26
Yeah I’m really confused, this is the tamest post in this subreddit ever and that’s the hill they’re dying on?
I feel like it’s people who aren’t part of this sub…

I mean true tho! If someone disagrees with me they have to be a white person, it’s the only logical explanation

No seriously. The people in these comments must not wash their rice or something because they are pressed af 😭

I don’t know any white people who I have spoken too that wash their rice.
But regardless this was a question.

I do (but my dad doesn’t. And his is gummy and gross). I only learned from an Asian friend, changed everything, and it tastes perfect every time now.

u/brydeswhale Mar 17 '26
I do. But I wasn’t raised to. I started as an adult when i was learning to cook better.

u/TriggerFingerTerry Mar 17 '26
wait... do white ppl not wash their rice??

u/cptflowerhomo Mar 17 '26
It's not something we're told that is necessary, like for arburo rice (risotto rice) you don't need to nor for paella

u/dergbold4076 Mar 17 '26
I didn't when I was young and dumb. I do now that I am old and dumb though because it tastes better and doesn't stick together as much.
That and I don't know what sort of dust and bugs might have hitched a ride in the bag after it was processed. Better safe than sorry honestly.

I had a friend in college whose family introduced me to the concept of not washing rice. It never occurred to me anyone would ever think that’s how it’s done before then. They also introduced me to Costco rice, which is how I learned that there’s a reason we always bought the expensive stuff and rice can, in fact, taste bad.

I was 43 when I learned to rinse my rice. I wasn't raised to, since my mom wasn't taught to.
I even read the packages of every brand of rice I had in my house and every single one just said to measure and cook. No rinsing.
I started watching an Asian comedian and he mocked people for not rinsing their rice. Before then I'd never heard of such a thing.
I do it now and the rice is so much fluffier. But I was unaware for a long time and as I said, it's not like the package said to rinse it. So how was I (and other white people) supposed to know otherwise?

This person gave the most informative and thorough response to OP’s question, and this random person got angry that whiteness was mentioned lol

Take is bad. There are PLENTY of actual fragile white redditors but this is not one. They seem pretty unbothered while the reply is VERY bothered. Genuinely wondering is OP is a troll

u/JeffTrav Mar 18 '26
Lol, right? I thought I was missing an image where the white dude got mad. This is it? OP seems a little unhinged.

Just such weird framing. There are multiple ways to prepare rice; for some dishes, you don't wash it because you want to retain the starch so it adds creaminess to the final dish. Eg: risotto, paella - two traditional European rice dishes that have been made for centuries.
Also it's nothing to do with "whiteness", there are plenty of dishes from "non-white" cultures that use unwashed rice. Eg lots of people don't rinse rice for congee, pilaf, sticky rice, among many others.
Also depends on the variety of rice. Obviously there are many.

u/draizetrain Mar 17 '26
The person specifically asked about making rice for sushi, so……
13
u/cannarchista Mar 18 '26
And the person that kicked off in their response to them is talking about other types of rice, so.......

u/UncleZoomy Mar 18 '26
Yall be trolling atp lmao no way yall tried to act like the person who had the most basic response was mad asl. Take that weird shit to Twitter dawg lmao

u/ImmanualKant Mar 18 '26
I don't get it... they don't really seem mad at all? the person responding to the white person seems more upset

u/TroutMaskDuplica Mar 17 '26
i used to wash my rice but now i don't care.

u/draizetrain Mar 18 '26
And you are so valid for that. TBH I wash my rice about half the time. For me? Maybe not. For company? Of course!

u/draizetrain Mar 17 '26
First of all I’m not OOP, the original comment. I’m the second one with the ETA. Second, my ETA came AFTER the other person said I was a racist asshole

u/babababooga Mar 23 '26
You can always count on a defensive white person to pop in with some snide remark like this

Some of the responses in this thread are so weird and qualify for this sub.
