The one-time vice presidential candidate was speaking about the Ukraine invasion and its effect on gas prices.
after the one-time vice presidential candidate used a derogatory term to refer to small cars that don't use a lot of gasoline.on Thursday to discuss rising gas prices amid the Ukraine invasion, Palin was talking about how gas prices don't just affect the price at the pump.
"And you're talking about gas prices. It costs about almost 140 bucks to fuel up my truck. And I know that the Jen Puh-Sakis—however you say her name—of the world are gonna say, 'Just don't drive a big truck then, Sarah,' because they don't understand that petroleum products are everywhere," Palin said.
"Every piece of plastic we touch, everything that is transported from here to there. Everything is petroleum-based and all they think about are, 'Well, you know, drive your little tiny rice rocket,' or something and don't spend so much on gas. They have no clue, Jesse, what's going on. And it's a very scary place for us to be as Americans," she continued.
Sarah Palin, shown here holding a phone autographed to a fan as"I'm not Tina Fey" in 2008, appeared on Fox News Thursday and called smaller, fuel-efficient cars"rice rockets.""Rice rocket" is an outdated slang term for vehicles made in Japan, and considered by many to be racist.
In the 1970s, the term became used by fans of U.S. cars to disparage Japanese-made cars—which typically had better fuel economy—during the energy crisis, according to."Rice rocket" in particular originally referred to Japanese-made"superbikes" or racing motorcycles, though the term expanded as a general term for vehicles made in Asia. The term was even used uncritically in U.S.
