these are the people that piss me off!!!

Just for clarity, the definitions I posted were from Dictionary.com.

As an academic, I like to properly cite my sources!

Gee... I always thought racists were those who hated other people for their recognizeably different racial origins. Doesn't "ricer" refer to cars and cycles rather than people? And isn't rice a dietary foundation in many Asian countries? Such as Japan, from whence these vehicle derive? So, where's the racism ? Or am I instead seeing a bit of thin-skinned PC baloney here?

man evil...this is the biggest circle ever...the fact remains that the term "ricer" was given to these heavily modded cars that people view as different from thiers...

so then you state "isn't rice a dietary foundation in many Asian countries?" so instead of it being about a car that looks like crap, you tie it back into the diet of Asian countries?

in this case you say "ricer" and for the record, it was found offensive by a forum member to whom's race it degrades.......similar to the uproar when Tiger won the masters and the one guy told him they don't serve chicken.....

so the funny thing is everyone gets uptight when the boxster, a car, is called out....or when someone says it's a chick car, or a poor man's porsche....but in matters of insulting a person's race, it PC baloney

Ok, we are done.

Thanks to all for playing.
