Stoves and metal pans are not authentic and old fashioned any more than a rice cooker. If you want to cook rice the REAl original way, get a large stone. carve/grind it into a bowl shape. figure out how to make fire with the tree debris around you (if it has rained, you are SOL). No fire starters, lint, matches, or fuel allowed! this is AUTHENTIC. After making a fire, place newly carved bowl on some stones to it is appropriate height above fire. add water and pray against dysentery. i'm sure you can take it from here. or, get a rice cooker. If you want to go authentic, go all the way. otherwise, its not authentic and you should accept progression.

That comment isn\'t racism. You could say the exact same thing about an african, caucasian, jewish, whatever that grew up in Asia and ate rice everyday. It\'s more about the food product of the region, which is about the climate of the earth and the available vegetation. So, yea, he\'s a vegetearthist! Racism? That comment isn\’t racism.
