@prahou Seeing Mage using "ricing"(racist slang pointed at japanese car modders) makes me feel a bit uneasy tbf- I wish she'd simply call them modders 🌻

I was always wondering about the etymology: the relation between UI customisation and rice is as far from obvious as it can possibly be, and as a non-American I wasn't aware of that. The etymology is indeed… questionable, but is it still racist when it got adopted in an unrelated field by wider audience, not used in a derogatory manner and not targeted at particular ethnicity? 🤔
@m0xee @prahou It depends, if you're accidentally using a word and not knowing its priors, it's different than knowing its history and choosing to use it anyways, which as a white person, I'd be weary of reclaiming slurs affecting a demographic that I am not part of.
