Who paid for the spices? If it was the roommate why shouldn’t they move their stuff with them?

You're missing the point. The point is that their roommate was white, and therefore responsible for the actions of every member of their race reaching back for as long as the punchline requires. It's a funny joke, because if you do it with another skin color you are cancelled.

TF is going on in this comment chain? Jokes aren’t jokes, double down on racism or white guilt or even real racism and biases… what a disaster.

I have been told that isn’t a thing here because you can only inappropriately focus on someone’s race if they are part of specific racial groups whoch is somehow not racist.

The real answer is that "white" isn't really a race. It's a socioeconomic in-group that exists to other those who aren't collectively agreed to be a part of it. Over time, a formerly racialized group may achieve "whiteness" via assimilation, like the Irish, Italian, and Jewish populations in America.
