What if I named my restaurant "BEANERS"?

Why don't you try it?

I'd love to see you get your a--s kicked!

Expect to serve beans... and some outstanding ones at that.

if you do, you better have some awesome Mexican food then. although they did close the doors on Sambo's but they weren't selling soul food

There's a restruant called Pink Taco.
The femminists hated it.

There's a lovely place in Boston called that serves killer baked beans. No mexican, though. Food, I mean.

Wow, I'm obviously out of the racial slur loop. I thought it'd make a great name for a coffee shop or a vegetarian restaurant.

Do it!

I think that's pretty funny, but you know the ACLU or Jessie Jackson or one of those "I have rights and I'm gonna sue your a** because I can" organizations will have their way with you.

You can name it that if you want. You might have a limited clientele, though, and you may have difficulty getting a business loan to get it started.

It may be perceived as an ICE sting

Go ahead.

There is already a restaurant in Texas by that name.ts been in the same city for years. The owners nickname is Beaner and he is Mexican American. Great friendly place. No one seems to be bothered in that city.

The Pink Taco is in Scottsdale ,no thanks I hate that name ,its crass and classless.

Gringo Pass is owned by an Anglo or Americano. This question is ridiculous altogether, you are just trying to start a fire that does not need to get started.

For all the racists on here throwing out insults, remember that the White Americans are the ones making legislation protecting the "W**-Backs". Us U.S. born Hispanics are not "wet", therefore when you bash "W**-Backs", most of us probably agree with you.

Educate yourselves first. The "G" word is not a derogatory term, it is a descriptive term, kind of Latino, Latin, Hispanic, etc.....get the point.

There are several words used to describe the "White Man" in a derogatory manner.....and believe me the "G" word is not even close.

It's all a crap shoot any more, go for it, the most you could lose is your livelyhood. It may be a big success.

Here in Arizona there's a scumbag that operates a place he calls "Gringo Pass".

If he can do that, then "BEANERS" should be okay.

As long as you served "CRACKERS"

You would be called a racist of course. You sure wouldn't want to offend anyone,we all have to be PC.

It depends on what race you are if your african american- than its fine, if your mexican- than its fine if your white- than your a terrible racist and you are part of the kkk

bravozulu

I doubt your sense of humor would be appreciated even if you were Mexican.

Jasmine

You'd probably get beaten and your building would get burned. Well, I guess it depends on which part of the country your in.

I've actually never seen anything called 'Gringo' and gringo means Estadounidense (person/citizen from the United States) therefore it is different. 'Gringo' is used not only by Mexicans even though it did originally start from there, there are stories that it was the U.S. army who started it when they would make the soldiers fight and say 'GREEN GO!' another story is the one where the Mexicans didn't want the U.S. soldiers there (stealing the land and doing a lot of horrible things) and they would say 'GREEN GO'. (They would say green because the uniforms were green)...Either way 'beaners' is just plain racist and comes from people eating beans? I think it is one of the dumbest 'insults' ever...specially since a bean is edible therefore a food and people eat food. What would your restaurant serve? 'Mexican' food like Taco Bell's. I doubt you would get many customers. I don't' believe in a double-standard. I think people should be free to show their pride as long as they don't put anybody else down. If you want to be proud of being Caucasian (which I am guessing because I think you think that is what gringo means) go ahead, just don't put us down. Our term for light-skinned is Guero and not even that is directed to you guys, it is said to ANYBODY that is light skinned. I am called guera (I have blond hair, blue eyes, and light complexion) and I am Mexican. Chill out for a second there bud. Even if it were true, two wrongs don't make a right.
