i am indian (dot not red).my ancestors have been yogurt+rice eating high iq,low disease,80+ living people for so many generations now.maybe primal is good for inuits(who die at 40 btw).different diets for different people. there is nothing primal about eating meat.
i'd say,eat food that is relevant to your culture,climate and lifestyle.
Yogurt and raw dairy are still primal.
"Raw, fermented, full-fat dairy is probably best.
Tons of traditional, fairly disease-free groups lived with dairy (just as tons of traditional, fairly disease-free groups lived without it), and they all included some form of fermented or cultured product. Cultured butter, yogurt, kefir, clotted milk, cheese – these are traditional ways of increasing shelf life, improving digestibility, and incorporating beneficial probiotics into the gut. Fermentation takes care of most of the lactose, and some posit that it may even positively alter the structure, function, and safety of casein."

Rice is a lot more grey area. It depends on if the hull is removed or not, the quantity eaten, the frequency, the rest of your diet, exercise and activity levels, and how it is prepared (with natural oils and animal fats or with vegetable seed oils high in omega-6). I'm not sure where you fall in all that, though. White rice in asian cultures is typically in low serving size accompanied by lots of vegetables, fish, and more offal meats than Western diets (I'm guessing way more veggies than meats in your case).
