I just saw someone argue with the grocery clerk about the offensive beans. |
|
They were "frijoles negros." The woman (white) was complaining that they were racist. I'd love to say I was kidding. :eyes:

"Frijoles" is a racist term. She would rather they be called "habichuelas negros".

Mind telling me which store? :D
And you know as well as anyone that when they are in close enough proximity to me -- any bean can be offensive.
Speaking of which, did you see my thread? Mexican buffet today.

9. I had a student once who referred to Brazil Nuts as |
|
"Negro toes." (At the time, and when I was growing up--a LONG time ago!--we called them "nigger toes.") Hope that's not offensive to anyone.

17. Had to make chili with Bush's Beans |
|
Once I tore the label off the cans, though, the chili tasted great.

19. In a related story... |
|
The powers-that-be have announced that they're changing the name for the color 'black' from 'negro' to 'africano'.
