My Opinion is this:
- Racist/Able-ist words were once normal words. Gay used to mean "Happy" (this applies for other words probably, but I am not able to recall at the moment)
- Many people had no idea that ricing was a racist slang. They wanted to use it to describe a cool new thing that's inclusive.
- Would you agree that a word whose racist meaning is forgotten and it now referring to something inclusive and cool is a good thing in general?
