I always thought the new found word of "Rice" was very unusual. Originally it started from close minded full blooded American car drivers. A japanese car was considered a "rice burner" based on it's Asian descent of design. Since the glorious scene of street racing and super fly bling mobiles, our culture has taken on the new meaning of the word.....
Look past the ignorant people......don't take it personal........and enjoy your car.

"It is here that we find a new type of rice. In the 70's and 80's most import automobiles from Asia were considered Rice, although now it was no longer an important part of the noon-day feast. No, now it was a car, that was called by this nickname because of the vehicle's roots in Asia where the palpable food is so common. At this time it was carried with it strong undertones of racism and hate because the sales of these vehicles funneled money out of the country and consequently affected "The American Working Man." To note, another lovely name for such vehicles was "Rice Burner."

My question is, If a term, or even a symbol, has evolved from it's original meaning how does one know which meaning a person is referring?
Example: In high school (circa 1990) I drove a Honda Accord, stock unmodified. The boss at the company I worked for saw it and called it rice to my face. What did he mean by this term? Well to give you a background, he was in his mid-fifties, a hard working, physical laborer, who owned a sand and gravel company.
I knew what he meant by it, and I know that he was insulting me.
Either way, I don't care. I drive what I drive because I like it, and I don't care what other's opinions are.

If people are insulting because one drives a Japanese car, the correct response is:
The Toyota Camry is the #1 selling car in the United states and has been for the past decade or so. It is this way because the Japanese design is more efficient, more reliable, and cheaper than the American design... For example the Chevrolet Malibu. Case in point, look who's having problems with fulfilling labor contracts. The Toyota Camry and several other Japanese makes are built right here in the god ol' US of A by American hands. Compare that with Ford and Chevy that are usually built in Mexico and Canada respectively.
