          I was telling you.
          I was also letting the OP know that they didn’t need to “improve” by blacking out while trying to perform the mental gymnastics required to believe that Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement = Racism. You see, the important part of the term is “Cosmetic Enhancement”, and the first part is borrowed from the racing community that spends more time on the look of their car than they do on the performance. Much like the ricing here. You do not get a cookie for pointing out that Rice = Common portion of asian meal = Asian = Not White = Racist.

          Unless I am way off here and you would prefer something like Dice - Desktop Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement - simply to make it more appropriate here(Nice - 'Nix Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement, is just too nice - we’re not all kindergarten teachers).

            It’s not race-inspired-cosmetic-enhancement. You’re whitewashing a term because you don’t like it’s racist origins. It’s a derogatory term for asian vehicle (Honda for example) modifications that has been adopted by the Linux community. Facts don’t care about your opinions.

              Typing something out doesn’t make it a fact. I find no references to sharpiemarker as an authority when looking up race inspired cosmetic enhancement.
