Yeah the MSG thing is clearly racism. But to be fair pretty much every Chinese takeout places uses white rice by default and charges an extra dollar for brown rice, which makes the food taste better at the cost of the health of their customers.

Outside of Thai, I think most restaurants charge more for brown rice.
