My understanding of the term (from an asian american perspective I guess) is that it at most has a connection to race through the origins of ricing, and since the origins and current usage has never seemed derogatory and is simply about the Asian origins of automotive ricing I don’t think it’s racist at all. I see it as no different to any other term that reflects the origins of something that is connected to a specific ethnicity, especially when the term isn’t derogatory and isn’t used to otherize (which is how I consider model-minority stereotypes to be racist despite not being “negative”).

This just reminded me that I had the most American dream I could have had waking up on this 4th of july morning: a dream that I was in a mall where a mass shooting was taking place. I would like to leave this country lmao

There’s a ticket to fix this on kbin which would allow each instance admin to block regular users from registering common names of authority: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/359

Their last suggestion is actually Digg, so it looks like they got that covered lmao
