Offensive Terms- Quick Vote?

Who finds the terms Grease ball and Beaner offensive when being used to describe our friends from South of the Border?

I have had my account suspended for using these terms

Update:

So, is it something that I should have been suspended for or are the PC police going to far?

FYI, I am half Mexican.

    Never heard greaseball. But, I always saw beaner as the Hispanic honkey. Really, the only race I know that cares is black. I've known someone of just about everything.

    Yes. You should grow up. They are called "Mexicans" not "beaners".
