Starbucks has been accused of racism yet again after a Latino customer at a Los Angeles area store found a racial slur scribbled on his cup. The man, who would only be identified as Peter, told CBS Los Angeles he received a drink with the word “BEANER” on it at the Starbucks in La Cañada, California. “En español es ‘frijoleros,’ ‘beaner,’ you know, in English,” said the victim’s friend Miguel Acosta. “He went to Starbucks, and they asked for his name, and his name is ‘Peter,’ and they wrote this ‘beaner,’ And he’s saying that’s not fair.” Acosta added that he does not understand why Starbucks targeted his friend and believed his friend did not deserve to be treated that way. The store manager declined to give a statement, but the coffee company released a statement saying it has “apologized to the customer.” “This is not indicative of the type of experience we want our customers to have when they walk into our stores. We have apologized to the customer directly and are working to make things right,” Starbucks announced in a statement. The incident took place just over two weeks before the coffee chain is scheduled to close 8,000 of its company-owned stores in the U.S. to make its employees undergo racial bias training. Starbucks implemented the training after an incident last month where employees at a Philadelphia Starbucks called the police on two black men, leading to their arrests for trespassing. Police did not file any charges against the men. The training was the company’s response to a social media-fueled boycott of the coffee chain when a video of the incident went viral.

Since the NAACP got to run the last sensitivity training, I guess it’s LaRaza’s turn to run the next one.
Let the groveling at Starbucks begin — again.
Why do I smell a dirty leftist trick in all this? I’m guessing that since blacks and Hispanics have been “insulted” by Starbucks it will be an Asian and a member of the LGBT crowd next in line to be “discriminated” against. Starbucks better wake the hell up and realize they’re being shaken down by their fellow travelers on the left!
Starbucks is being picked on by race-baiters, and it doesn’t help when your Starbuck employees are immature enough to do this. Time for yet another ‘Workshop’?
Most Starbucks workers, especially in California, are foreigners who can’t understand or speak English very well.
Peter, Beaner, they sound alike to a foreigner.
And I’ll bet this guy spoke with an accent himself.
But this whiner will now get himself on CNN and collect big bucks from Starbucks.
Yup - my name is pretty simple and I enunciate fairly well but I am stunned at all of the variations that have been put onto cups at Starbucks. If the customer is named Peter and he mumbled or spoke with any bit of an accent, I can easily see how the employee got “Beaner”, especially if they were ESL themselves!
Seems like everyone is looking for a way to be offended these days!
They’ll have to close all the joints again for more sensitivity training.

What about us crackers?
Most of the Starbucks employees I see here are white hipsters.
Not to mention the LaRaza connected law firm representing him. I smell a rat in all this. We know when the lefty activist groups are running low on cash they whip out the race card and shake down some chickenbleep corporation who’s afraid of being labeled racists, and a nice settlement payment is decided to make all the parties happy! Starbucks today. Another corporate entity tomorrow!
You had to ask that question! HA HA! Sorry white people aren’t victims of discrimination in 2018 America. Remember that all whites are part of a privileged class of people who commit racist acts against everyone else! C’mon my friend our leftist overlords have said this is true!
And they still can’t get names right. The few times I’ve been in Starbucks......years ago.....I didn’t know who the heck they were even talking about when they called the name on my cup. And my name is fairly simple.
“What about us crackers?”
So go to Starbucks, clearly say your name Cracker, then when you get your coffee, whine that your name is Hollingsworth and they are discriminating against you, you have the cup to prove it.
I’ll bet this guy gave the Starbucks “barista” the name “Beaner” when he placed his order just so he could scream racism and collect some bucks.
“Did you get the right coffee? Then what difference does it make?
And don’t reopen - save the world from your coffee.
