I've just been lurking and enjoying the pretty themes, but I find myself finally needing to ask: why is it called rice?

Unfortunately, racism.

It's a term from the car-modding scene. "Rice burner" was a pejorative term for badly-customized imported Japanese cars with more flashy looks than performance upgrades. It then came to just mean "heavily visually modified", and installing such mods was called "ricing"
