Did you seriously have to use the spanish slur again, or attempt to use it? Cant you just say Mexican or Hispanic or whatever?

[MHV9218]

Nice report Yuki!

 

Somewhere after Bell Blvd, one male Beaner complained to male driver, "That n20 driver didn't stop!"

 

Don't use that word. I don't know where you picked it up, but don't use it.

[B35 via Church]

Did you seriously have to use the spanish slur again, or attempt to use it? Cant you just say Mexican or Hispanic or whatever?

Yeah, he was informed by a couple of us in that *Rude Lady on the N27 thread* of his as to what the slur meant..... I'm not giving him the pass of not knowing what certain words mean anymore, large in part because he's been on these transit forums for years now..... It's not like when he first started posting on RD/straps & his english was terrible (to say the least).... Using the slur for a second time I'm going to classify as ignorance..... But if he keeps using that term from here on in to refer to hispanics, I'm going to throw him in the category of a racist...

 

Flat out.

[checkmatechamp13]

Don't use that word. I don't know where you picked it up, but don't use it.

 

He picked it up from Pinepower. He originally thought it was "beanie", and some of us corrected him on the actual spelling (in that N27 thread), but told him it was a racial slur and not to use it again. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he just thought we were referring to his misspelling, but like B35 said, if he keeps this up, I'll have to write him off as a racist.

[Q43LTD]

Beaner? That's a new one. I've never heard of of it.

Oh lol I have enough proof

 

Beaner? That's a new one. I've never heard of of it.

It's a slur attended mainly towards Mexicans (and hispanics)

For starters, you're still saying "Somewhere after Bell Blvd, one male Beaner complained to male driver, "That n20 driver didn't stop!""

 

Second of all, we're saying you shouldn't have said it in the first place, whether it's on Facebook or NYCTF or Subchat or any other site.

He picked it up from Pinepower. You all can stop ragging on Yuki now as I've edited the posts. Yuki will also stop using that word, correct? Good, now this thread gets locked.
