Non white. Nothing against people enjoying what they enjoy. It's not for me though. Actively avoid it.
White guy here. I also avoid it.
Though I don’t like sweets in general. So maybe I’m not a good example.
Love sweets, hate pumpkin spice. Just like candy corn, that stuff is terrible.
I’m in the US where most people mainly associate pumpkin with pumpkin pie. This includes the pumpkin spice which is the topic of this thread, along with plenty of cinnamon and sugar, and is usually served with whipped cream.
I am of course aware there are many other ways to prepare or eat pumpkin, but that is my main association with this food.
In France, pumpkin is savory first. Even if it is not uncommon to have them in tarts or flans.
