Actually, that is a good example of needing to know before acting.
There is a player/umpire in this area who someone call "bean" one night because of his shaved head. Over the years, it has turned into "beaner" to which the individual has been answering to the point some don't know his real name.
A few years ago, there was an individual who took exception to someone calling anyone a beaner. It took more than five minutes to get this guy calmed down and explain that is the name to which this very pale caucasian responded and how he got the nickname. This guy still didn't buy it and insisted everyone should change because that word was offensive.
And here I thought I lived in the Land of the Free
