I did too until I learned (two minutes ago) that Beaner is a derogatory slur originally from the United States to refer to individuals of Hispanic or Latino descent, particularly those that are Mexicans from Mexico or of Mexican American descent. source: Wikipedia
That sucks, I don‘t think we should let slurs ruin an otherwise perfectly fine word like bean, I love beans, but maybe it‘s not the best choice then. Guess we could do some poll to see how other names fare though.
I also love beans, especially coffee beans.
Can we not be so touchy as to let the word "bean" be ruined? Come on. That's just some hardcore virtue signaling if you ask me.
