In Reply to: "Rice" = Racial Slur Against Asians. Just like (M) posted by Seriously on May 20, 2001 at 13:03:54:


Just like:

Beaners = Mexican with their impalas
Niggers = black folks with their hoopties with no insurance
Trailer Trash = for the rest of you white folks.
So quit it with the RICE slur.

I disagree. 'rice/r/y' etc describe an automotive lifestyle and attitude, and relate on race only in that its Asian people and cars that happen to make up the majority (but not all) of that lifestyle. I'm Japanese, live in Los Angeles, and neither I nor any of my asian friends, ricers or not, are offended by its use, whether by other asians, whites, latinos, whoever.

You wanna compare something to the terms you mention, think Jap/Nip/Gook/Chink, etc. which 'we' do find offensive.
