“It would be weird to get offended because someone told you to”

Right, but it happens. The post which triggered this reply chain is essentially a litmas test for what I’m describing.

The acronym of RICE was made after the racist connotations were already established. It’s an attempt to rewrite history so people could continue saying it.

It is documented to have come from racial origins in the 1960’s. Yet, I can’t find anything about the acronym from more than twenty years ago.
