'Rice grinder' is a general nickname (one of many) American gearheads use when describing Japanese hot rods. I'm sure that other nationalities have other nicknames they apply to American muscle cars. It doesn't make anyone racist. It's just that, a nickname.

Do you not associate rice with Japanese food? Pizza or pasta with Italian food? Tacos or burritos with Mexican food? Burgers and fries with American food? To do so.. is that racist?

And the reason I wrinkle my nose is that I was born and raised in Detroit, the motor city (so, trust me when I say, I am well aware of how the internal combustion engine works, I don't need you to explain it to me). Most of my family works or did work in the automotive industry. So, buying American not only supports my country, but my family and my hometown.

Every single one of your posts on these forums is full of rudeness, finger pointing and name calling. But somehow, I'm the bad person, here?

This witch hunt of yours really needs to stop.

No funny... I don't associate everything Japanese and Japanese made with rice. I wouldn't even condense all of Japanese food to rice. I ate rice almost everyday growing up, so I guess I never learned to associate with it Japanese or Asian people and their ethnic "quirks".


I'm just weird like that I guess, I also don't wrinkle my nose when encountering something or someone simply because they were not made in America.


The last time I checked cars have very little or nothing to do with food. Also yes many Mexican people would find it offensive if you referred to them or really anything Mexican other than Tacos or Burritos as "Taco this" or "Burrito that", and Italians definitely don't like having their entire culture boiled downed to pizza. Many of them would find that incredibly offensive.

The more you explain yourself, yes the more you do sound like an absolutely terrible person.
