The meaning of the word came from the way Japanese ppl do up there cars. Just watch the original fast and the furious. That is all Japanese tuning and, naturally, some American/jackass had to just make fun and equate the japanese nature and origin of the modding, with "rice" - what they are most famously known to eat (plus it is easier to say than "moogoo-er").

Anyway, I do my car how I want it, and I don't give a flying fuck if someone doesn't like it;) Becasue, quite frankly, I don't spend thousands of dollars on what you like or what you want.

I'm Asian and I don't take offence to the term at all. Its only a derogatory term if you let it offend you and give pleasure to the ones using it in a hurtful manner.

Also, I'm not sure who made the Fast and the Furious remark but the term "Rice Burner" goes way back to the 60's and 70's when Japanese cars first started popping up in the US. The term "Ricer" is just a "modern" spin on the word.

I referenced the fast and the furious, but I didn't say it started the term. Although it became WAY more mainstream after that movie.
