I really didn’t know any better. I have edited my last post. I am really sorry.
-34…what do I have to do. I’m really sorry it wasn’t intentional and I didn’t know it any better
The original post was fine, and wasn’t worth something downvoting you over. This post with an apology was unnecessary and not really aligned with the content of this community, so it’s more of an objectional post than the original post was.
Arguably I should maybe take down this post, but it’s not enough of an issue to really worry about either way I think.
To be honest I have never really understood why using the phrase “ricing” is acceptable at all. I don’t know that many asian people though so I have zero authority either way on the subject, but it seems like a cut and dry case of people making fun of the way asians mod the shitty cars they drive to try to make them not look shitty in a way that people don’t make fun of for anybody but Asians.
I am not saying it is a word people shouldn’t use, again I don’t have the context to determine that either way but I am a bit surprised when people don’t see at least the possible problematic aspects of the use of the word. Is it a word that was originally a derogatory word that Asians claimed themselves (like queer in the LGTBQ community for example)?
Not attacking anyone here or trying to raise anyone’s hackles I am just genuinely confused by the context and meaning of the phrase ricing.
