It wouldn't be to me. Rice *is* white so it's not like you're talking about white people liking rice or something. BUT I'm sure somebody else might take it too figuratively and somehow consider it racist.

Brown rice, forbidden rice, and wild rice might be offended, but I would have to say no, since they're all going to be eaten anyway.

No, I don't think so at all. I actually say that often, hope I didn't offend anyone!

Yeah, the too figuratively part is what concerns me. Then again it seems as of late, everything I say pisses someone off.

I think people have taken mere words to far. In the old days, indians called white people "pale face" and white called them "redskin". I don't think anyone back then thought of racism. Words define things, including people. It's when those words are used with malice that they become racist. Most people of today, don't look into the intent of the word. Unfortunately, it seems like they just pick a reason to fight. I'm a lover, not a fighter. You would have a hard time offending me, unless you pick a lot of fights!

I do my absolute best to avoid conflict (but we all have our breaking point).

I agree with your assessment. It's frustrating to have to pick and choose words so very carefully these days.

Exactly! The statement is literally about rice not a person but of course, someone somewhere will find a way to make it a racial issue!

Not to me. It come from "white rice" as opposed to "brown rice."
