This wikepedia definition sucks. They say that the car has to be Asain (not true) and yet they show a pic of a Neon??? That's just stupid. The person who wrote this must have been a ricer 
Here's the link
This is the pic they gave...

i think that they ment the origional cars that were "riced out" were from there and rice is the main crop from there and that is how the terms "rice" and "ricer" started.

Rice is defined as, "more show than go". That's the line. So just adding Shelby decals=Rice

Yeah. I read it more carefully after you said that. It states that they can include German & American cars now too.

I suppose that you folks are just ignorant to the root of the term. Just because it has been adopted in this fashion doesn't lessen the fact that it is derogatory. Try using that term in your place of employment. Try using it around Asian co-workers and see what happens.
Why not talk about purchasing a car and how you "jew'd the seller down." Many people I know use that term and even think that it is totally acceptable and harmless. I'd even bet that some of you use that term (or have used it).
"Ricer" as you folks use, is incredibly insensitive. You are cutting down anything that doesn't measure up ande branding it as Asian...and therefor crap. That, my friends is biggoted and insensitive. Wikipedia is hardly the measuring stick of sensibility or accuracy.

 wow, this noob's got his panties in a bunch.
i have chinese friends with whom i throw the term "rice" and "ricer" around with and they say it to. i have 2 phillipino(SP?) friends who i also discuss "riced out" cars with and they don't mind the term. i am part jewish and have a few jewish friends and i have said "don't jew me out" when talking about money. some people have the common sense to know that when someone is talking about a car and they reffer to it as "rice" that is not a derogatory thing said to them. now, other words are completely unacceptable. i hear people say "N----- riged" and i feel like slapping them in the face. if someone was to refer to me as a "Mc", "Wop", "****", "Jew", "dumb Polock" or any term derogatory to Native Americans, directly (and they weren't a close friend of mine), i would get pissed. "rice", "ricer" and "riced out" are terms used when a car has got a million performance part stickers on it and is still stock, save for rims and a fart cannon. oh i'm sorry, an "exhaust", god forbid i insult anyone with an obnoxious "muffler". actually, they really can't even call those mufflers anyway. a muffler is something that MUFFLES the sound of whatever passes thru it. what they call a "muffler" should be called a "bull horn" as it intensifies the sound passing thru it.
you, sir, are taking this word way out of the context it is being used in and trying to start trouble by doing so. please stop being a troll and remember one thing. we all have the freedom of speach if you don't like what we are saying, excersize your freedom of choice and don't read it or be a part of it. i would rather not see threads get locked because one person has to be a dick about a word.

Ok, I may be a dick, but I do feel there is a sort of allowable insensitivity and then again, there is not. Newb? Hmm. I may be new to THIS board, but not new to discussion boards (my long-term boards - MySportTrac.com, Gretsch Discussion Pages, Les Paul Form - with 5-6 years or more on each).
Clu7ch, my goal is not to get any threads locked (I don't report people...I just speak to them directly), but rather try to discuss matters to RESOLVE them. I won't resort to name calling (demonstrates frustration and a limited vocabulary) when someone objects to my viewpoints. In this case, I merely interjected that this term is insensitive in public circles (using the, "my Asian friends" line isn't a good defense in a place of employment). Besides, I find that even in those personal circles, people tolerate that sort of insensitivity because they like the person saying it...but it still hurts (wait until you have a falling out).
Just to clarify my stance...I am about as mixed as they come (while still looking Caucasian) - 1/4 American Indian (Cherokee), German, English, Italian, Swiss...and we don't know the rest. My wife is Jewish. My circle of friends is more ethinc than anything else - Korean, Philipino, Japanese, Mexican, African-American, Peruvian...and a few anglos.
Look, I used a term (via image) here that got our mod fired up...yet he allowed others to use the same term (that's called a double standard). I take responsibility for my actions and stand by them.
I also understand how the term is being applied and appreciate the concept...but the term is still inappropriate. I am just as annoyed by that trend as the next guy.
Remember, more than 95% of discussion board posts are opinion-based...and everybody's got one. More often than not, they collide.
Since you all feel that I am standing on the outside looking in (oops, I mean a troll), then I guess that you are free to your opinion.
Btw: In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion. - Source: The Amazing Wikipedia
I will depart and take my hatred and trollness elsewhere.

exactly why i suggested if you don't like us excersizing our FREEDOM OF SPEECH you should excersize your FREEDOM OF CHOICE and no longer bother with this thread or threads which you find un-acceptable. that term you hate so much has been used very loosely around here since before i started and is used in many forums and in my own experiances, even these so called "ricers" use the term. i do see your point, and it is somewhat valid, but i really don't see how "rice" is at the same caliber as "jew" . i have NEVER seen an Asian person get offended when someone was talking about a "riced out car" and like i said before i know A LOT of Asian people who refer to other peoples car as rice. with that said do you realize that the word rice isn't as bad as you are trying to make it out to be? now if i was to say derogatory terms around my Asian friends, they would have every right to beat me. i also understand that me allowing my personal friends to refer to me derogatory terms is my own choice and not every one will agree with me. that is why i am greatful for every man and woman who served for this wonderful country and protects OUR freedoms. i have the freedom to make up my own mind and be an individule and not follow what everyone else tells me too.

and if my one post is enough to make you leave the forum, you really don't belong on a forum. you were allowed to post your thoughts about a subject and i posted my counter thoughts. the only thing i did close to name calling was refering to you as a noob and a troll. so what you were on other forums, so was i. than when i came here i was a noob, someone new to the forum ITSELF. i do not apoligize for calling you a noob, but i am sorry for calling you a troll. you really weren't acting that way, but you were being a little closed minded about the word "rice". hopefully everything can get back to normal now and we can have you remain a member of our forums. i don't like seeing people leave over little nothings like this. if not, i wish you the best, my friend.

a) Ricer is not derogatory (sp?): It does not refer to race. Read the amazing Wikipedia
b) Don't argue with people from Jersey
c) Threads don't get locked by reporting anyone on this forum. It's at the Moderators (Soaring's) discretion and is done when he sees flaming
d) I called an American I know a ricer today when I was talking to an Asian. He laughed.
e) I win
