From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How can someone use that to be racist and don’t know what it means at the same time?
Not knowing what the acronym means and using it for stock Honda Accords, because "asian car" for instance. That is racist.
Tbh I don't really even get the hate on Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement, I see it as a different facet of "car enthusiast," like the dudes with Donks and Low-Riders. Still though it isn't racism, just eleitism or regular old gatekeeping from the racing people.
