Beaners coffee / Hispanic Trending said:
September 15, 2007 By JEFF KAROUB - AP

A small but growing coffeehouse chain is changing its name amid concern that the moniker meant to celebrate the seed of its main product also is a disparaging term for Hispanics.

Beaner’s Coffee, based in East Lansing, on Friday informed franchisees and employees at its 77 stores in Michigan and eight other states that it would become Biggby Coffee, effective Jan. 31.

I am so suing Cracker Barrel for suppression of my people.

We have one of those. Good coffee. I stopped going when they changed the name. If they want to be that PC, they can do it without my help.

Wow, really? Beaner's coffee? I'm with John Brown, I saw we go class-action on those berkeleyers!

We should sue every establishment in the country that dare call itself a HONKY Tonk.

As a proud American patriot and general lover of democracy, I say we run this Burger "King" out of the country!

Home depot should adopt them for a in-house coffe chain just like walmart does with mc donalds.

Hear, Hear!

Also, I shall never eat at another White Castle until the name is changed to the politically correct "Caucasian Castle".

In not really at all related news, I very jokingly said to my wife the other day "YOU SHOULD SUE!" after she spilled a cup of BK coffee on her hand while getting out of the car. Three days later, her hand is as red as a baboon's ass, her skin is peeling off daily, and I'm starting to think maybe I should at least push for a free cup of coffee.

Does that mean if your name hasn't got a "K" in it you are not welcome at K-mart.

I wish my name was Shelby....

As an Italian American, Burger King's flagship burger offends me to the core.

But seriously--people need to lighten the berkeley up.
