Not that I approve of the context but we used to call our Japanese motorcycles "rice rockets". I really dont think we should so sensitive that a food staple for a certain region becomes an insult. However if a person decides to go around dropping slurs in an insultive manner then he should pretty much expect to get his arse kicked occasionally.

I would'nt care if someone called a Ford an "apple pie mobile". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
