I don't really use that word but was curious about the etymology, apparently:
"It was inherited from the practice of customizing cheap Asian import cars to make them appear to be faster than they actually were - which was also known as "ricing""
https://github.com/ibrahimbutt/direwolf-arch-rice
So definitely some possibly insensitive shortcuts taken (Asian = rice), though not sure it actually offends anyone. Is "ricing" adding rice? Is this by analogy of putting "icing" on a cake?
