I had no idea... I would have assumed it was related to rice somehow, like the people who paint on rice grains.

1. I'm pretty sure it is actually from a certain food (can't remember which one) that only tastes good when lathered in rice

2. By this logic, saying words like "shit" are swear words is colonialist

Thanks for the heads up. I tried looking up the origins of the term once long back when I first heard it but could never find it after a search. This again makes me iterate how Racist and White-centric the Internet is in general, which is observable to me as a person from Assam.

Another term people should avoid is the «soyboy» meme term. It is also a racially prejudiced word against Asians.

• https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/soy_boy, Soy consumption is high in many Asian countries. (There is no scientific evidence for any correlation between soy consumtion and feminization for anyone curious to know.)

My Opinion is this:

1. Racist/Able-ist words were once normal words. Gay used to mean "Happy" (this applies for other words probably, but I am not able to recall at the moment)
2. Many people had no idea that ricing was a racist slang. They wanted to use it to describe a cool new thing that's inclusive.
3. Would you agree that a word whose racist meaning is forgotten and it now referring to something inclusive and cool is a good thing in general?

Identifying and making fun of certain behaviors is not racist. It can be used in a racist context, but it's not racist in itself. Do you all believe that the majority of people saying "my rice" have racist intents?
