I didn't call anybody racist. And If I implied it, I apologize. But, the word racist isn't anywhere in my post. I further said, you probably didn't mean anything by it. Did you all miss that part? I guess so. It may be a regional thing, but where I'm from "bean counter" is associated with a Hispanic person, not an accountanat. I'm here in Texas where we are right next to Mexico with alot of immigrants. And no, I'm not an accountant. Just someone on this forum who likes it here and is opposed to anything not fun and clean. That's the only reason I said be careful of what you say. And if you meant an accountant just be clear and say....a G.D. accountant or something. Have a good day!!!!!

These statements can only be taken as racist. And the context you used them implied you thought Taman was making a racist statement. Since you are a truck enthusiast as well, we have posted in a lot of the same places. I have always found you to be a good guy. Obviously "Bean Counters" in your area has a different connotation. But, I think you will find the in 99% of the country "Bean Counter" is typically used to refer to an accountant. Check Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...er&redirect=no
I think what we have is a big misunderstanding. My one piece of advice is to use the PM function for giving people a heads up on that kind of stuff. If you don't want to do it directly, inform one of the Mods via PM and they can help sort it out. Saves head aches. Now lets get back to the car stuff, well trucks in my case!

99.9%.... Chad.... A BEAN COUNTER (in all of America - including Texas) is someone that works in the accounting department.

If you care, you better find something else more productive to do with your time. Racism is unavoidable and sometimes the glove fits.
