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
