one suggestion- please provide approximate shipping dates to know when it will be shipped. You have mentioned that mostly it will take up-to 2 business days to ship but sometimes longer. But it does not mention for each specific order as that is the key information I was looking for when I was placing the order. Although you provide the information that it will be delivered in 2 days once you ship, I believe people order this primarily for the lack of time and get it in a timely manner so would like to know the approximate time it will be delivered.

Why haven't we started calling out this racism and shunning it? It's better if everyone is on the same page for spiciness levels and judging peoples' tastes based on their skin color is inaccurate and offensive.

Please don't needlessly jack up the flame levels here. Restaurant workers trying to figure out what their customers will be happy with is hardly "racism" that needs "calling out". Moreover the online trope of "calling out" is something HN can do without. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Positive racism ("I'm trying to help the stereotypical image of what I think you are") is still racism.

There is no such think as 'hardly racism'. That's an excuse for racist behavior you agree with.

It definitely needs to be called out because it's the same level as suggesting that a black person wants fried chicken despite the fact that they ordered grilled chicken.

"I think you actually want X despite asking for Y because of your skin color."

I'm honestly surprised that you are defending this behavior given your otherwise neutral positions. It's disgusting.

More to the point, "caucasian" is an obsolete and ill-defined term that was interpreted in various ways throughout its history: The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid[1] or Europid)[2] is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, which, depending on which of the historical race classifications used, have usually included some or all of the ancient and modern populations of Europe, Western As…

Sure, I forgot the quotes, thank you. The whole "race" thing is ridiculous, in my opinion.

Is white not an acceptable term? In Britain, on government forms that's the term used.
