Because they took time to make something from scratch with ingredients. i.e. Cooking. linux ricing started with only Window Managers and occasionally you get someone that modifies a DE. These people start from scratch to build their perfect environment. They aren’t doing after market modifications. They literally pick the components they want and put it all together, write all the configs. Hence, Cooking.
What is racist about the term?

When did lemmy get filled with shits
Rice burner, riced out, rice boy… and referring to a badly customized sports car…
So nothing at all to do with what we’re talking about in this thread with linux setups?
Same term, same origin, basically same meaning, other device.
Linux Ricing
A cooking term dude. Pull your head out of your ass.
Thats the dumbest shit ive heard today
How is the linux term reffering to processing food with a ricer, and not aftermarket modification of ones possessions? You imbecile

Ricing is not making things from scratch, its mashing something through a ricer.
