for the first time as a legally recognized and legitimate racial slur, which constitutes harassment in the workplace and citable in deciding subsequent cases involving identical or similar facts or similar legal issues. (should be re-worded. the 9/11 reference is coincidental to when the case was closed)

I was unable to find a suitable image to replace the can of beans. However, I remain concerned that this image is unencyclopedic, as it does not further the reader's understanding of the subject matter. I am also concerned that use of this image is potentially offensive, as it seems to make light of

I don't mind so much how it looks now – before it was just a link in the "see also" section with no explanation on why it was there. Having a "Usage in Pop culture" section seems appropriate, but aren’t there other references? I'm fairly certain Carlos Mencia isn't the only person who says it, but
485:
While this is technically slang, implying that all "Mexicans" react with glee when this word is directed at them is unfounded. Like "nigger" and "gringo," the context establishes the speaker's intention. I can call myself a beaner, but if a person that is not of
Mexican, Mexican-American, or Chicano

However, on or around
September 11, 2001, in the case involving “M.U.” vs. Great Earth Companies, the United States Department of Justice ruled that the term “beaner” to be considered a legal racial slur on par with “N” word. In its ruling, the court set a precedent by recognizing the term “beaner”

The only reason 9/11 is mentioned is because that was the day the DOJ signed final documents provided to MU, which was the final step to close the case and winning the case. The online information available is a snapshot of the entire case. Final ruling documents are available through the US DOJ

in the article. This article is about a pejorative term and not about a can of beans. I notice that you uploaded this image, Yorick. I wonder if this image has some special significance that I am missing? I am removing the image with the intention of finding a better one.
516:
In New
England beaner almost always is a term for someone from Boston ('Beantown') More rarely it is a term used for a baseball pitch, and even more rarely the slur discussed here It is still a slur when used, but against the person because he is from Boston
578:, because it seems out of place. Yes, he jokes about beaners, but should we put his name on every page with a subject of his jokes? There is no reference to beaners on the Carlos Mencia page, so it couldn't be the only thing he jokes about.

Oops...I didn't see this on the discussion page when I revised the main page. I figured it was a worthwhile addition, as he is a notable figure. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to add other references? After all, see the page on

the article or the image description? From the article: "The term is derived from the use of frijoles" ... and from the image description: "Frijoles, or
Refried beans, are commonly used in Mexican cooking." Image replaced.

I disagree. People in other parts of the world/country have no idea what frijoles are, which is the origin of the term itself. Said image puts the article into context. Replacing it. --

As far as I know, the term is specifically for
Mexicans (though it may be erroneously directed toward other hispanics.) I'm rephrashing the last edit to better reflect this. --

Putting the above here. Really weird reference to the date and 9/11 with no supporting citation. Did read a 10 page
Justice Department pdf and it doesn't state the above.
