The Wikipedia definition 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”?

    You can just say that you don’t care. You don’t need to frame your opinion as belonging to hundreds of people, none of whom asked you to.

    And of course people in the community don’t care. If they did, they wouldn’t have joined the community.
