Dsi1, you took my innocent comment way too seriously. I was not
comparing me to you or to all Asians about cooking rice. I was just
surprised that you mentioned the rice cooker prevented scorching or
burning rice. I've never had that happen with my saucepan method...
true.

Look at the numbers though...I cook rice maybe 3-4 times a year at most.
If I cooked it all the time, perhaps I might burn it occasionally. I
just never have. No need to call me and the others that agreed with me
arrogant, ignorant and racist. You need to take comments at face value
and not read more into them.

Lighten up, Dude. This is evil RFC. Roll with the criticism but don't
look for it when it's not even intended. Your responses to this one
surprised me. wth?
