I had to look up ricing. From ai:

Ricing Linux refers to the process of customizing the appearance and functionality of a Linux operating system, often by modifying themes, icons, and window managers to create a unique desktop environment.

I've only ever known "ricing" as a semi-racist term for people with no money who got inspired by the early Fast and Furious movies in the 2000s; stuck a bunch of cheap junk on their Asian commuter cars like fiberglass body kits and fake turbos, in an attempt to make them look fast and sporty.

Ricing out your car isn't as popular as it used to be in the 2000s, but I still see the occasional Toyota Tercel with a giant fake carbon fiber wing and fart can exhaust sputtering down the road. Underglow seems to be making a big comeback too.

uses term anyway

Yes thats how language works? The word isnt racist outside the racist context.

Semi being not applied to any race specifically. As in Any one can rice out a Honda Civic.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes
The rice fields
No racial associations at all
