Where did the term “beaners”, (usually referring to Hispanics) originate from, and why are they being called this?

I always thought the term orginated from the fact that beans are a common part of the traditional Hispanic diet.

Allegedly our diets are filled with beans and rice. I don’t know about the other Latinos, but I hate beans. When I went to Mexico there were pinto beans in every meal, but I think it’s pretty much a poorer country thing because beans and rice are cheap. Argentina is relatively better off and they eat the most beef per capita among all nations.
