Do you consider the term "rice" or "ricer" to be racist? (lemmy.ml)

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"?

Pink cars with massive spoilers and 200db exhausts shouldn't feel threatened with arrests every time they forget to signal, they should have the same opportunity to use the roads everyone uses withouth getting honked by honda civics
