yeah i thought the same thing. nobody answered me yet tho so i guess we’ll never know

edit: ok i’ve discovered it. apparently it initially meant something about modding cars that were imported from asia. i’m not sure if i got that part correctly. then people started using the term rice to mean modding cars in general, and the linux/unix community started using the word to mean editting/modding the computer’s UI.

so basically it originally was racist, but now it just means modding, so i don’t see how it could be considered racist.
