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

The Wikipedia definition [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner] 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”?
