Your Definition

Much like several terms referring to the LGBTQ community, Ricer can be used both as a slur or to refer to a community with a specific aesthetic and can often be confused by those unfamiliar with the community as being racially charged or out and out racist.

Ricer, when used in a non derogatory manner, refers to community of car enthusiasts focused on primarily cosmetic changes with an aesthetic popularized in America by movies like The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Anime such as Intital D, and video games such as Midnight Club.

Ricers primarily use cars of Asian design

such as Hondas, Toyotas, Hyundais, and their subsidiary companies such as Lexus, Scions, etc. This is used an argument for the racist nature of the term; however, As the aesthetic style originated in Asia and was imported to America, I personally find this to be an unfair assault on the community.

Within the Ricer community exists subcommunities such as JDMs (Japanese Drift Machines), which is both an aesthetic community and an actual brand who makes modification parts.

While JDMs are Ricers, not all Ricers are JDMs. It has been a struggle of the JDM community to maintain their unique identity as many specifically white people become uncomfortable using the term ricer and have instead began using JDM as a stand in for ricer. This has lead the JDM community to get very defensive of what is JDM and as such can give the community the reputation of being toxic.
