What's rice?
A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: "riced-up Honda civic"
How is it racist? I didnt know it had a bad meaning.
Think of the movie Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. It's used to describe unnecessary modifications to a street racer (led lights, decals, etc...) that was mockingly called "ricing" because it was prevalent in the asian street racing communities. (rice eaters...har har har...)
I thought I was the only one who cringed whenever I heard that word. But this thread is making me realize I'm not crazy.
