The word "ricer" has been used to describe a Japanese car that has been modded out to look like a Japanese race car. Since Japanese eat alot of rice I'm assuming that is where it all comes from. Now I'm not a politically correct guy by ANY stretch of the imagination but I do believe in fairness. It seems like we have some VERY whinny babies here at ATOT and have recently had a ban on the word "g#y." I don't see how you can ban someone for using that word to describe something you don't like (ex. That is g#y.) but then allow someone to say "that car is riced out." If a black guy drove up in a SUV with 25" wheels with every ghetto accessory screwed on, is it alright to say, "that car is watermeloned out?" Or if a Mexican guy was driving a lowrider, would you say, "that car is burritoed out?" Are you aloud to say things like that until some over sensative person complains and then it becomes politically incorrect to say? I'm just wondering because I see some contradictions here.
"Ricer," isn't that a little insulting to Asians?

I figured this topic might of been hit on before. Since this has been discussed before, why are you guys still alouded to use the term, "rice out?"

Dude, its not that big of a deal, its just a describing term. I'm Indian so technically I'm considered Asian, because India is in Asia...
Anyway, I don't find it insulting at all. If a person wants their car to look really nice without any performance modifications, let them do so, no one is stopping them. Some people may call it a riced up car, but who cares? As long as it doesn't harm others and the owner is happy with it, its all fine.

Let me make this clear. I could care less what people post. But obviously we have some VERY sensative, whinny babies here and I'm trying to figure out why this doesn't get their panties in a wad.
And people who can't spell worth sh!t! Geez.
And, it's "couldn't care less".

it's funny... lol. I hope your Asian because if you're not, then you saying "it's funny" means absolutely nothing.
I could be offended by the term, seeing as how the forums are so PC over some things and don't give a fvck about others, but oh well. I recall reading an article a couple weeks ago, it might've been from a post on here, saying how Asians are still freely discriminated against and no one cares, and it's true as hell. As it is however, I'm not offended and I do think a lot of the civics out there are retarded looking, but if I had money to throw around I wouldn't think twice of modding up a nice car regardless of what you anti-ricers think

Uh dude, that is not a spelling mistake. "I could care less" but I just don't want to try that hard.

Hehe, I should have said made to match their personality or something that they liked
Still, *IF* I wanted to rice out my car, I would. I wouldn't let the term "ricer" stop from doing it.

When it is said, they don't say it in an offensive way, it more like, "Look! Another Ricer! Hehehe." For those offended, you just have to learn to ignore some things because thats an MMORPG called "LIFE." No, thats no an acronym for some other online game, its a single word. If someone is offended to an extreme, just learn to ignore it.
You are right man, you rice out your car. That is not my style but I think I'm going to watermelon out mine. It should look sweet.
People are WAY too sensitive....
Political Correctness has done more harm to this country then anything but lawsuits!!

It depends a lot on what people think "ricer" means. If making a car look nice without modifying performance = ricer, then what do people say about a M3 with Ac Schnitzer cosmetic modifications but no engine ones? I guarentee 9/10 people on here, when they see it pass by, will say "oooooooo" even though that car had the same thing done to it as any other "riced out car".

Slight difference there is that AC Schnitzer body kits and those blingbling wheels are MEANT to be a symbol of "I'm rich dammit" rather than "look at me! I drive a fast modded up car!" Subtle difference... so according to my definition, a Veilside body kit designed with aerodynamic properties, and for strength and less weight isn't "rice."
However, ricers can turn any normally performance-oriented modification (ie a blowoff valve, turbos, etc) into "all show and no go." Whereas the AC Schnitizer snob is all about the show and is generally being blatant about it.
