  • I am sorry that you have to endure such bad experience. I will have to endure if I were in your place.

    Someone pointed out that I have a racist mind. May be I might have.

    But I wanted to know was if I say I rice my DE the reader of my sentence got offended or not. The answer is yes, they are.

    I thought I used the word as Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhanced. I didn’t directed the sentence specifically to Asian users. Also rice word is in my opinion not a racist slang. Malcolm Gladwell book Outliers has a chapter relating rice and we eat rice everyday. The rice word has more good associations to me.

    Also most of the cars in my counties are Asian made (and Toyota is prestigious for JIT manufacturing). Again “ricing a car” word do not appear racist to me.

    Same thing with the master word. We use the master word for other things. PATA cable and HDD configuration was done in master and slave drives. Good copy of cassette is called master tape. Key that can open many locks is called master key. Around my society we do not insult other people calling slave.

    I assume I am new to racism than I am a racist.

    Now I know more and I will avoid the usage.
