Since we live in an age where everyone is offended by something, I want to make sure I'm keeping in line. I've seen the terms "ricer" or "ricey" used on this forum to describe cars that are aesthetically overdone.

Are those terms offensive to Asians?

My 23 & Me results said I'm 0.4% Southeast Asian.

I'm not offended.

Filipino here. Yes, I'm on the side that considers Filipinos as Asians. idgaf about its use. I've used it to refer to riced out cars, myself. I could give 2 shits less if my non-asian friends use it in that manner

I think back to need for speed underground when I think ricer :) Those were the days, and I honestly don't understand the hate towards cosmetics to be honest. If done right, you can enjoy the cosmetic upgrades on the car forever and always, whereas if you mod your car to 900hp, there are limited areas and times when you get to enjoy that power. Cosmetics are 24/7 eye candy though (if done right) :D

Here's a Toyota dealer who proudly sells nothing but Rice cars. They even have a "Rice for Life" deal. Oh the irony. http://www.ricetoyota.com/

What IS the nature of your question? Are YOU Asian? There is a Shakespearean issue with "The lady protest too much" or "Fie wicked spot" ... Tell us!!! Who are you?

100% Chinese American here (from Hong Kong if you know the difference)

No one cares about that term. The term is only known to car enthusiasts community and it is not even related the rice we eat.

What Chinese American do care about is big time stereotype that will make the news such as this dumb game on dirty Chinese restaurant.:dunno:
