Gammon is not a racist term. It's a description of someone's attitude, not race. As you well know.
Gammon refers to skin colour and you must know that. It was coined to mock middle aged white men with angry pink/red skin.
If the right adopted a term that mocked black people for the colour their skin turned when angry you would call the people who used that term 'racist'.
Admit that to yourself at least. |
Maybe you should take the knee for poor old 'Reg in Essex' who voted Brexit and owns a property portfolio worth millions, a mock Tudor mansion, and a fleet of luxury cars. He's had such a hard life and being called a gammon has tipped him over the edge.
It's a term that is the polar opposite of 'snowflake' yet you never hear the so-called 'snowflakes' refer to it as some kind of imaginary racist slur.

1) I don't "take the knee" for anyone.
2) Your fictional character 'Reg in Essex' is an example of a citizen who is very wealthy and so only a tiny percentage of people in this country would qualify as a 'Reg in Essex'...yet the likes of you use the term 'Gammon' with gay abandon to slur anyone who disagrees with you.
3) Being called a 'Gammon' is tipping nobody "over the edge", because the people you use it against don't sign up to seeing themselves as victims.
4) The term 'Snowflake' does not reference the colour of a person's skin so is not an equivalent.
5) 'Gammon' is not an "imaginary racist slur", it is a term that specifically refers to the colour of someone's skin in a derogatory way...I bring this to your attention only to point out what a massive hypocrite you are and so that any young people reading can understand that people like you don't have any principles.
6) As you flounce off don't imagine that you will be missed by the majority of posters.

Why Reg and why Essex.
What about Maldwyn in Merthyr

Would they ever describe a black Brexit supporter as “gammon” I wonder? Actually I don’t wonder because I know the answer. | |

James Cleverly is regularly called a gammon. He has, ironically, also called other people of minority ethnic background a gammon. | | | |

No they tend to call him a coconut. Which is a description of someone’s attitude and countenance, not race. | |

You asked if any black people get called a gammon and I gave an example of one who is frequently described as such.
Saying ‘no’ doesn’t change the fact he is. | | | |

Ok I’ll concede there may be one man (half white btw) who may have been called a gammon at some point.
Now tell me, would you consider coconut or choc ice to be a racist term? Surely they are simply foods that refer to attitude rather than skin colour if we’re applying the same rules across the board? | |

I've never noticed Cleverly being called a gammon, I must pay more attention.
Surely coconut and choc ice are slurs though, black on the outside white on the inside, it's akin to accusing them of treason against their own colour/race/kind/ethnicity.. | |

Of course. It’s a derogatory term based entirely on skin colour. If somebody were to make the argument that “coconut” is all to do with attitude and countenance and not skin colour you’d think they were a bit bonkers right? | |

Yeah, in the same way I've only ever seen white people called gammon. It's quite often used in tandem with 'little englander'
There will always be exceptions of course, but for the most part I see gammon as an attack on middle aged white people.
Didn't Rio Ferdinand call Ashley Cole choc ice? | |

"but for the most part I see gammon as an attack on middle aged white people"
As well as being white and middle-aged they are, to my mind at least, also likely to be affluent and reactionary.
And it's clearly a disgusting outrage that such people - whose lives are hard enough as it is - should have to then put up with being called gammons.
It'd be best to do them the courtesy of calling them what they really are: obnoxious, apopleptic, over-privileged, Tory vermin. |  | | |

I can’t say as I’ve heard him described like that but if you have then fair enough.
‘Gammon’ is pretty rubbish as insults go anyway. I’ve always associated a ruddy complexion with having spent a lifetime working outdoors in all weathers. Something of a badge of honour for the bearer - proof they had put their shoulder to the wheel, they had done their bit. |  |

The irony is what most of them really are is working class life long labour voters.
And they wonder why they lose 100% of the time. | |

It may or may not be rubbish but you're not going to pretend it's a racist term used against white people in general, are you?
Rather than what it is, a name for a ranting, right wing, permanently angry brexity type. |  | | |

Dunno. You'd have to ask whoever came up with the term originally. Maybe it's to do with them being permanently angry.
It doesn't really matter how it started IMO, now it's used to describe a certain type of person and how they think and behave, not what colour they are.
You do accept that it's not a term used to describe white people in general yes? | | | |
