As an Asian American into both car and computer culture, I have not ever felt a desire to embrace and reclaim this word, that from its inception only ever had derogatory meaning. Any attempt to force this word upon me in the name of "reclaiming" it will only offend me.
All these people saying we should reclaim this word have no fucking clue what it feels like.
