The Wikipedia definition seems to indicate it has origins as a racist term and I’ve never understood why unix users have adopted this terms instead of something benign like “themes” or “theming” which I remember being in use long before I ever heard “rice”. So what gives? Why use “rice” instead of “theme”?
Just because no one you know gets offended doesn’t mean it’s not racist.
Lol. But if it was the case, I bet I’ve seen this word offending someone or being racist would’ve occured at least once during the decade?
Linux users still brigs up wifi and SystemD regurarly so if there were a room for this particular word being offensive I’m 100% sure it would be discussed at least twice during a decade.
I could accept op being right if this was discussed more than zero times before, even though I don’t get how and why people gets offended by any word. Even less I get why on earth anybody would get offended for some 3rd person and I accept it just being me who don’t gets it.
Again, just because no one in the room you were talking in thought it was offensive doesnt mean it’s not outside of that room.
After all, you’re here, in a different room with new people and the new people are offering you new perspectives. One of those new perspectives is that that is a racist term.
Lol. Start your personal fight and change it. Do some good and leave your name in the history by becoming a new jesus.
Are you asian or can you name just 1 asian who is offended from this term? Until that milestone I’m all laugh.
