Oh, you think the sources aren't relevant? Yeah, I'm sure, that's how a reasonable, unbiased discussion should work. Just think other sources don't matter and the argument based on them just magically gets dismissed. Wow.

I am just saying that the acronym RICE hasn't got anytging in common with the racist slang "rice burner" It is more than a bit of a stretch. also shut the fuck about the unbiased discussion bullshit I am not trying to have a debate or another bullcrap. You, like me are free to think what you think

You’re a moron or intentionally sticking your head in the sand if you really believe this. What you’re clinging to is a backronym, not original or common usage. The term “rice” or “ricer” comes from racist old American car guys who hated that Japanese cars were becoming so popular in the 70s/80s/90s, so they called them “rice burners” as a dig at their Asian roots, to compare them to a kitchen appliance to make them seem weak, and to imply poor reliability and power compared to their beloved muscle cars. It’s racist terminology through and through and always screamed of a fragile, bruised ego

But that's where you're wrong. And the sources provided prove that.

You started a discussion. If you don't want to discuss, don't post a comment arguing a point.
