Wasn't it a derogatory term for asian car tuners at first before being used for the linux stuff?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It was indeed. It was used to disparage Asians modifying their cars and then anyone modifying an Asian car. Because haha Asians eat rice so funny.

Apparently a bunch of the Linux community thought this was a good term to adopt for reasons I don't understand. The mental gymnastics I see trying to make this not racist is tiring.

Its not racist if your not using it in a racist context. I didn't even know it was "racist" until today
