sticky rice
n.— «Here they have terms like…sticky rice.…Gay American culture insists that I am rice and my boyfriend should be a potato. My skin should be smooth, brown, and hairless, and his should resemble that of Wonder bread. If I go against this, I am labeled sticky rice and condemned as going against the natural way.» —by Amy Sonnie Revolutionary Voices Oct. 1, 2000. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
