Anyways, it can be used as a derogotory term. I was called a riceboy at a club before............ But I think that's just about the lamest insult anyone could come up with. I mean what if I called a white guy "potato boy"? Does that not sound incredibly stupid? 😛

Yes it is stupid. Asians eat rice. Mexicans eat beans. It's a stupid insult, though it isn't racist to point out simple truths.
