Why Asians rice their cars. Serious thread.
 

In this thread I will explain once and for all why Asians rice their cars.
Now for the most part people have their own reasons why Asian people rice out their cars. My belief prior to my revelation for why they rice their cars was because they dont have the money or guts to do go fast mods.

But since visiting China, I have come to a totally different conclusion.

I spent 3 days in mainland China and 5 days in Hong Kong. It is there that I realized just why they rice their cars first vs. going for power mods.

As soon as you get into the city and especially when the sun sets you see exactly why. The attention to detail, to everything is astounding. Parks are lit up in green. Buildings are adorned in thousands of neon lights. Boats are decorated with all sorts of ancient Chinese symbols and patterns. It is this attention to detail, that I have come to understand, that transfers over to their cars.

Now thats just mainland China. Hong Kong is an echelon above this. Buildings are two to three times taller, and the decorations are even more grandiose. The parks and streets in day time are all flawlessly maintained and beautified.

Another example. Look at the Beijing Olympics. I think thats hands down the greatest opening ceremony in history.

Now what does this all mean. It gives you an idea of why they do what they do. Its in their nature to beautify, perfect, and make things eye pleasing(even though some rice is woh nasty).


Yea so I have a new found respect for them, and why they do it.

while I somewhat agree/disagree with that, I can understand where you're coming from.

BUTTTTTTT

I just wanted to add that:

MOST OF THE TIMES ITS NOT THE ASIANS THAT RICE THEIR CARS, ITS THE MEXICANS/HINDUS/WHITE BOYS/ETC....

seriously, I see at least 5 times more brown folks/white trash with FUCKING ATROCIOUS looking cars than asians. I guess asians started it, but these other guys having no taste or any fucking brains, perfected what we call "rice" :giggle:

*edit - being Russian I am ashamed to admit that a lot of russians are fucking ricers as well. makes me want to fucking bitch slap them.

chinese, with your ching chang chong, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU, GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY, white power.

Thats cause you live in California. Do you even have an Asian population over there?

bay area is pretty much all asian lol

the banana leaf restaurant > *.thai.bayarea.food

Hmmm.

Well anyway, the term Rice was synonymous with Asian originally.

Indians dont rice their cars at all, very rare to find an Indian guy with a modified car, whether its just appearance mods or go-fast mods.

Can we add anymore blankets statements to this thread?

Old Asian women can't drive.......................I've got more

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????!!!!:eek5:
bro, you should visit cali sometime;)

I'm gonna have to agree that more white boys rice their cars than asians...but hey, I live in WI, one of the least culturally diverse states in the country.

Sure. For example, I'm a Jew. I like to mod my car .... but I don't like to spend much. :)

Im a jew at heart....hi-five:D

just mod the front-half of the car.

.....and you wonder why you were silenced for a while.

Perhaps if the Asians spoke southern redneck & waved a confederate flag and joined you for one of the KKKlan meetings,would you understand then?

he was being sarcastic, and that picture is from a dave chapelle skit about racism......geez

That's because they were Asian manufactured cars! Japenese bikes and cars have always been called ricer, rice burner, etc. as derogatory terms.

Did the big wing, phony aero, sticker powered, slammed, stretched tire, gawdy paint stuff start with Asian enthusiasts or just with Asian manufactured cars?

Is a dri-ft car with all the gawdy crap everywhere treatment a ricer also? Is it not "rice" because it has performance to go with the tacky looking parts?

No real answers here, just questions.

Maybe just cut off the front bumper skin?

Is this a joke?

Hmm. I didnt think about it that way. I guess its just coincidence that it was Asians that drove the imports.

american rice is even better. all the neons, cavi's, etc....those look great when they are riced out lol

Yeaah. rice is no longer a term in reference to the origin or make of the car.

In my opinion there's a difference between a tastefully (even if not your tastes) done show car. Great...not my cup of tea to make a car look good and drive worse. And Rice which is, do aesthetic mods on the cheapest dollar you can get, cutting corners everywhere..even where not possible and leaving body kits unpainted.

Also, in dri-fting the "Showy" is part of the sport yes, but in terms of aesthetics for the body modifications they are often simplified. Yes they are bigger lips and lower bumpers with bigger holes. but it's a simplicity and clean lines style that also is not indicative of "rice". Plus..well the power is there to back it as are other parts and chassis mods.

Has to be, there's just no way Sam is that dumb.

i guess you don't get comedy central.

I do,but you don't need to post stupid racist shit like that.

This forum is already known to be hard & unforgiveing,which is cool,it weeds out alot of the idiots,but we don't need to be also known as a bunch of racist idiots too.

Get a sense of humor, lighten up and relax.

Well in any event, CA has the most Asians of any state with an estimated 4.4 million, compared to 1.3 million in NY.

You retard, it's a skit about stupid racist shit. Dave Chappelle plays a blind black klansman who thinks he is white.

Parts of the skit:
-He gets confronted by a bunch of racist whites who want to beat him up, but he doesn't understand they are talking to him so he tries to join in and beat up the black guy. They become confused and leave.
-He calls a bunch of white kids listening to rap "niggers." The white kids are like "that black guy called us niggers!" "Awesome!"
-He publishes a book and then takes off his klan robes at the book signing. Lulz ensue.
-He divorces his white wife because she was a "------ lover" for marrying him.

^listen you stupid fucking newb,I don't give a shit if it's a skit or the president of the united states recited it,there's no need to quote stupid racial shit on this forum.

A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence, and context. Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour, and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences.

If you don't know Mr. Chappelle, or Comedy Central, how about the term 'irony'?


Racism is reviled because it is criticism/hate based on something one can't control, one's race. Likewise, one can't control whether or not they are a 'Newb' or not.


Now if you were to say you preferred to not have any references to racism -at-all-, that would be more understandable. :)

Umm. Isn't this thread in the BS section? Sorry but smart ass and controversial comments are allowed here!

Wouldn't expect someone with the name Spike to be such a nanny.

Welcome back Hustler! Missed your controversy around here. Look forward to info on your build.

Cueball,I'm not usually a tight ass on any subject,but when it comes down to racism,it hits me pretty personnal,especially Asian remarks.....due to experience of course.

I know who Dave Chappelle is,I don't really care for his shit,he's not all that funny.

Many highly respected leaders that represent the black community consider him a disgrace.

I have a cousin who is mentally handicapped. I could be offended by your Urban downs Syndrome sig. On an internet forum you are an unknown. Race, sex, physical condition, etc. For all you know I could be a 12 year old Somalian quadrapalegic girl with aids and a plate in my lip. People are also apt to make comments on an internet forum that they would never make in a face to face conversation. Similar to everyone is a tough guy in his car, it's even more so on the net.

If you can't take the occasional racial comment on this forum you need a thicker skin or should stay out of the BS section.

Besides. It's just like an Asian to blow this out of proportion! :giggle:

Syrup off a duck's back dude.

Well like you said,this is the BS section,so I guess pretty much anything is fare game then(according to you).

I have a pretty thick skin,I can take it & also dish it out real good.

We Asian's like to do things BIG,gotta get people's attention you know.

Based on what I've seen in this thread, this is false.

Compensating for something small perhaps?

This whole racism crap is a load.

I wish everyone would quite being a pussies and get over it. When I am called a white boy, I don't care. When my hispanic friends are called beaners they don't care.

But the Black college fund is OK. I would like to see you open a white college fund. LOL LOL LOL.

Anyway. I have been a minority my whole life being white. I can't get the easy way in school. Jobs:Well sir we have to hire a minority, mabe you can get a job here later.

Or "hey, there is the white kid". And I get into a fight because I'm white.

It is all crap. The people that yell racism, ARE the racist.

And don't even try to say I am prejudist. My best friend is black. And my girlfriend is hispanic.

And as far as the comedian. That Was FUNNY!

And as far as asians, most of them around here really have nice things. But almost all of them that I work with admit they can't drive. LOL


No pun intended.

The redline time attack cars that were at VIR had some mods that many would consider rice but these cars were seriously fast no matter how JDM or w/e they looked. 700 hp Q45 say what? Definitely looked a hell of alot more fun then the GTI's we were racing.

^ It's not rice if you have the power to back it up,in the case of the time attack cars,they can talk shit & back it up no problem.....also,the decals many consider rice,well,those are sponsors they advertise for.

What do you know about me?

Oh wait I know.......NOTHING!

YES!

A small turbo.

I know what you mean by the white people being the minority group.

When I was going up as a kid in the 80's,the asians/browns were picked on bad by the white kids for no reason.I also heard alot of racial slurs thrown around by white kids & adults(the adults would call the asian kids "little dumb chinks" as they walked past a playground)for no reason at all.

Fast forward 20+ years,now the white people are the minority here in "Hongcouver",the sad thing is,they like to pull the race card quite a bit,like you said about "hiring minorities".

I have no problem with whites,black,brown or whatever color there skin is,the majority of my friends are white,brown,native & I would not call you prejudist.

My point is,since the begining of this thread,there's no point to making racial comments/jokes cause it's just bullshit.I'm just so sick of hearing about racial issues,tensions,slurs,jokes & comments.

Well,I have to admit.........I can drive.

Sorry but you're just trolling. Living by NYC I can't believe you're that ignorant. There's like a billion or two people in china and they don't all live in the city. The Olympics were also a government sponsored and managed event. Hong Kong is awesome because it's WEALTHY.

The DC area (that I live in) is pretty ethnically diverse with a good spread of white, asian, hispanic, black people. It's not just chinamen that want to hop up their cars. For instance, I've met a couple of black guys that drive some very nice american iron drag cars and guess who helped me turbo my miata? My white buddy. Everyone wants a spiffy looking car and it's much cheaper to slap a wing on your tercel than to buy a ferrari or F1 car. Maybe the AZNs started modifying their hondas to look fast only recently but white folk were doing that with their american cars long before that.

Ease of modification really is a big deal too. Stupid Import Tuner magazine keeps putting out lameass equipment reviews of +3whp!! air filters, exhaust, and headers because those parts don't break your car if you install them wrong. When my car started bleeding fuel all over my garage because I installed my fuel injectors without o-rings because I was ignorant I fucking panicked. I think that a lot of people on these car forums are very mechanically savvy but the average Joe (which I'm not far removed from in mechanical knowledge and skill) gets very nervous about real performance modifications because car engines are intimidating and complex looking. If I had 40 fewer IQ points and I had to choose between rearranging half my engine bay and superglueing on a tite-ass!1!1!! groundFX kit and tinting my windows I would definetly choose the latter. My car isn't going to break if I fuck up installing a subwoofer system but there's a good chance I'll explode my block if install nawwz improperly.

Everyone likes shiney objects, not just people with squinty eyes...

Yes it was sarcasm.


Who has more Asians by density though?

http://maps.howstuffworks.com/united...lation-map.htm

I would appear as though the Bay Area and L.A. are both more dense than NYC.

my user texts pwns.

..and spike,
all i can say is "fuck yo couch!"

I have ambiguous genitalia, this thread offends me. pm me for pics

You want to fuck my couch?

LOL. i work there.

Gah, this thread sucks and makes me realize how stupid some MT users are.

Seriously, this thread fails.

spike let it go.....u just ruined this thread..I hope you feel better :jerkit:

I did let it go,I already said what I had to.

Now I'm just screwing around.

Back to the original topic...How do you explain asian that were born and raised in America having a riced out car?

Genetic programming.

lol, I'm a foodie.

:giggle:
