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

[-] Montagge@kbin.earth 14 points 4 months ago

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
