Holly I have lived here since my freshman year in college. Now that is more years then I care to admit, and if you want to know exactly you will have to come visit, cut me open and count my rings.

That said, I have never ONCE heard anyone called a Beaner here EVER. It' sounds so cliche, but one of my dearest friends is Hispanic and lived here for many years until going for warmer climate a few years back. I can call her and ask if it's a word she knows, but it's not one I ever heard.

And as Bee so accurately said, don't have to be prejudiced to hear most words out there, so I'm surprised I haven't. Did the folk on BB specifically say it ties to Boston???

The thing is, there's a line. if this was the UKBB, they might be thrown out for it (but they've been really sensitive on the ethnic slurs ever since some incidents a couple of years ago)...but there are worse things that have been said- remember Chelsia's rant to Natalie calling her a "baby killer" and a "white trash trailer park C-word"? That I thought was more vile..

Thank you, Nala. I've only known it to be associated with Boston.

Scorpiomoon...I didn't hear Jesse say that. Wish I had. I would have been delighted to put him on my sh*t list for it.

So far, I've heard
Jeff
Jordan
Russell
Braden

So, now add Jesse.

And someone mentioned Casey. Has he said something?

Why are the cameraman insistent on showing us a close up of Chima brushing her tongue. It's dinner time here.

You know how high schools have mascots that are things like cougars, etc. A local high school here had to stop being the warriors because their logo was an indian and someone complained. Now I took using an indian as meaning strength and honor but others don't agree which is fine. But when it comes to BB, surely you have to expect people with opposing opinions.

Nala you're in Boston? My brain must be going...thought you were somewhat close but not here. Geez I'm getting so confused about my neighbors--sorry. Speaking of which, my beloved Donut has been MIA (keep hoping she'll show up), not to mention a few other locals. Sure could use them for this chat.

I'm trying to figure out if it might be a word from certain parts of the region??? Just weird that I never heard it.

I just wanted to add my

I never heard of "beaner" as a derogatory remark either....but I am from south Louisiana, and up until KATRINA time....I have never even seen a person of Mexican descent around my little town. Now, we have several groups of Mexicans down here on work Visas because there weren't enough people to do all of the work.....and I realize how prejudiced some people are about them. Just like some people down here are really still prejudiced against black people (That is the minority in Louisiana)......

ANYWAY.....I always thought that Boston was called "Beantown" from their famous "Boston Baked Beans"......seriously.......someone should Google it....LOL!

"And someone mentioned Casey. Has he said something?"

Not that I'm aware of but he has spoken to both Braden and Jeff so he is therefore guilty by association.

I gotta admit that when Kevin was going around saying, "I'm not even Mexican, I'm not even Mexican" it was sort of funny.

I mean, Braden tried to really insult Kevin but he used a term that has nothing at all to do with Kevin.

I've been seeing this in Braden all along, though. Very early on. In fact, withing the first hour that feeds were on.

Ok just left a message for a good friend of mine. He's Black not Hispanic BUT he was a Boston cop for decades and at least one of his partners I knew well was from a Hispanic background. And in his old line of work, well if there is anything bad to hear he heard it lolol. Of course I got his voice mail, bu can't wait to hear if this is common to him or not! It's bugging me now!

Actually, before Atlanta got the Braves, they were in Boston- and one of that team's earlier names was the Boston Beaneaters (and they won the National League in 1897)

Cay...like I say, Boston Baked Beans is definitely a "known for" thing BUT only in a tourist gift shop kinda way lolol. And the only time you see them on the menu is in one that specializes in tourists. So none of us really understand it, but I vaguely recall some story dating back to colonial times and beans. But it's def not a current thing ie Philly cheese steaks.

Adding Lydia.

Now, what did Chima say??

It IS disappointing, isn't it, Cay? That's like half the house.

It appears that when people let their emotions get control over their mouths that they all tend to go into the gutter... whether it is racial slurs or cussing... it is all wrong.
