“He went to Starbucks, and they asked for his name, and his name is ‘Peter,’ and they wrote this ‘beaner,’”
Awwww, pwoor wittle bwaby.
WTF
As if Starbucks had any employees old enough to remember that term.
Hoax.
More Racism Allegations After Latino Customer Receives Cup With ‘Beaner’ On The Label
It really is. The headline made me laugh. There are 330,000,000 americans. I can imagine one of them doing it.
Anything that causes Starbucks discomfort makes me happy. They have been at the tip of the spear when it comes to pushing PC nonsense. Now they can choke on it.
“Beaner”, as in coffee beans?
Not a huge deal, but people paying 4 dollars for a cup of joe should not have to deal with a racial slur on top of it. If I were the manager it would be no question but to fire the idiot employee. People think they’re being funny.
Good Lord.
WOW! What a blatant racist crime! The CEO of starbucks needs to go to jail for this! after he goes on TV and does an act of contrition, bows down so his head scrapes the ground, and fires the one who wrote “beaner.”
ALL latinos now get a free cup of cold coffee! The stores will be closed June 28 for a day of penance and retraining.
If there’s a lot of noise in the store, “Peter” can sound like “beaner.” And some people don’t know that “beaner” is a racist slur. (I didn’t.)
I remember in middle school, I went to Mexico and came back with a traditional Mexican vest. When I wore it to school, I got called a “beaner”. I’m 0% Hispanic!
Way too many snowflakes in todays world.
I don’t care who you are, that there is funny!
Sounds like a put-up job.
Except Cheech Marin is Lebanese! He’s just made a fortune being a “beaner!” BTW, as I recall he’s smoking a mixture of Maui Wowie and Labrador. Tommy Chong’s dog ate his stash and he had to follow him around for several days to “effect recovery!” So in this case, “it’s some good $hit” literally!
It was a misspelling. The barrista saw the customer drive up in a Beemer.
If he’s a Latino, how come his name isn’t “Pedro”. Isn’t he culturally appropriating?
In our church, our church band guitar player who is of Mexican heritage, is fond of saying “Como frijolais” (not sure of the spelling)
He says it translates to - “How you bean”. And says it with a heavy “Cheech” accent.
I laugh way too hard for church every time I hear that.
Did they ask his immigration status?
Patient got pissed and started calling the guy a &^%ing slant eyed gook. It escalated from there. Only broken dishes, part of the counter, all the food, trays, soda machine,a few other miscellaneous items tables, chairs, a car, and some scrapes and bruises were hurt. For some odd reason we were blackballed.
