Do you consider the term "rice" or "ricer" to be racist?
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"?

Master branch is racist!!!
People who don't have anything better to do find anything to be offended by.
Hey nice strawman.
Referring to modifications as Rice or Riced is actually racist. Master branch doesn't have an origin in racism.
We used to refer to hard drives in hierarchy as being either Master or Slave and we've moved away from that terminology because it was offensive.
It's not that hard to understand or have some empathy, unless you're an idiot who can't recognize your own privilege.
Wrong.
The word wasn't coined by the Linux community. It was taken from the automotive community where it was used as a derogatory term to refer to car modifications.
You can't pretend it doesn't have shitty origins just because you aren't familiar with the source.
derogatory 😂
I mean it's not a compliment to say that someone car is "riced out." If you think so, you might be an idiot.
That's entirely your own opinion
No, that's a fact. The term is not complementary. Period.
