I've wondered why you keep posting about 'Gammon' and I've looked it up.
Apparently it's a derogatory term for white, middle-aged men with right-of-centre views whose faces supposedly have the colour of, er, gammon.
Phew, good job it's a slur on whities or there'd be pandemonium.
I have alluded to this before when the same user ( I think) posted this racist term, not sure that many people are aware of it's meaning but if the liberals on here are so anti racist, let's have a level playing field.
For all we know 'Mapperley' could be black, in that case this is racist and even if not, it's racist anyway.
I found this definition in the Urban Dictionary:
Gammon
(Noun/mass noun): A term used to describe a particular type of Brexit-voting, middle-aged white male, whose meat-faced complexion suggests they are perilously close to a stroke.
The term 'gammon' is linked to the unhealthy pink skin tone of such stout yeomen, probably because of high blood pressure caused by decades of 'PC gone mad', being defeated in arguments about the non-existent merits of Brexit and women getting the vote.
Gammon often make their appearance on BBC's Question Time jabbing their porcine fingers at the camera while demanding immediate nuclear strikes against Remain-voting areas, people who eat vegetables and/or cyclists.
I'd describe it as a humorous piss take rather than anything racist. You bloody PC lot are always searching for a new way to be offended!
You’ve got to be as thick as pigshyte to call the term “gammon” racist.
I'm gammon and proud.
What does that make Corbyn?
Oh my word I've just typed it into Google and there are a thousand and one articles about "Who is gammon? " and "Is gammon racist?".
I'd never even heard of it until a few minutes ago, am I getting old? Is that what happens when you're not in the Twittersphere?
Anyway it seems to come from somebody calling David Cameron 'gammon face' in relation to his ruddy complexion and as far as I can tell is mostly used by white people.
On that basis it doesn't sound particularly racist, and seeing as the other day the people who are complaining on this thread were talking about dropping Jamaicans out of aeroplanes to make 'Jamaican patties' I suspect they're not too bothered about avoiding offence and are just mischief making.
