this is anglophone forum and the origins of the word are rooted in racism
but by all means keep outing yourself
As what, an Asian who can read and write English? Just India alone has a significant chunk of the human population, speaking English outside of the typical English speaking countries. It's not that odd anymore.
<- this many more posts until you say the gamer word
Pretty sure you aren't discussing in good faith, but let me add that local Asians like me, aren't the least bit offended by being called "rice eaters". I do in fact eat rice almost everyday because I enjoy it. A majority of my countrymen enjoy rice too. It's also cheap and infinitely customisable, exactly as implied by ricing. I will genuinely be pleased if people in other countries enjoyed our rice dishes.
Again, if you aren't going to engage me in good faith, just kindly ignore. I will still stand by my point that this is a global platform, and everyone else shouldn't have to tiptoe around the "rice" term just because Americans can't treat Asian Americans decently. You guys generated all this baggage on the name of our staple food, maybe you guys should fix it back home first.
