If you call your desktop theme a "rice" you're a bit of a dick.

It's a deeply racist anti-Asian slur that made its way from the car world to customised UNIX desktops all of a sudden - like the past few months it seems. It's racist, no ifs and buts about it, and if you use it - you're a racist.

Basically, the UNIX porn community needs to start banning this term or I'm out. Some leeway so people can educate themselves is fine I think (but Asian folk can determine this better than I can), but this needs to stop.

@aparks You cared enough to not only make a meme, but also edit in my ugly face. Seems like you care quite a bit.

You can just ask me out like a normal person, you know.
