I believe its a figure of speech and was referring to the guys with the Honda's who dress their cars the same, you know totally blacked out rims grill etc. which I too have seen on a few Civc's recently. I see this a lot in the LA area so I too thought the same thing when I saw this car, I just don't use the word rice its racist to me.
