I have to wonder if this is some type of twisted racial slur. A bean is
pretty much a bean. Why would he state "I wasn't clear about this. I
know people who eat beans 10 times a week. Kidney beans, pinto beans,
fava beans, navy beans, all kinds. They get VERY nasty reactions to
black beans." if not for a some ethnocentric reason? It's not like black
beans are poisonous or anything.
