Of course. I eat food so hot it's intensely painful because it's fun. But I still receive those pain signals. Naturally plants respond very differently but that doesn't necessarily make it not pain.

It's not like it's a bad thing. Pain is a fundamental and important part of life, it's what drives evolution.

It's got nothing to do with ethnicity, just personal preference whether the effect of spiciness is pleasant and then tollerance from how much and how often you eat it.

I grew some ghost peppers last year and the first one totally blew my socks off, but it was a bumper crop and I started eating them regularly and by the end of the season they didn't even seem that hot any more. After a few months though I found some in the store and they were hot again. It's like a tollerance to anything, you experience it a lot and your body adapts.
