An English omnishambles

I've never heard choc-ice.

One of my Asians friends said he was called "Coconut" at uni by some other Asians and I've also heard Romesh Ranganathan say that word a few times.

It means brown on the outside, white on the inside.

I've heard "oreo" used a number of times to attack darker skinned people who might have a more conservative or less left leaning mindset.

It's evolved into a term for any white rager/brexiter type dreg of society. Need to get with the times.

Gives you an excuse to hate on 87% of the UK population...

How the **** did you get the 87% figure? People like you are not 87%. Maybe 1% or 2%, even 10% at a stretch but certainly not 87%.

If people like you were as high as 87% the UK would resemble The Walking dead or some other dystopia type show. I appreciate we are nearly there but not 87% close.

87% are white British.

87% are white British.

I appreciate that, but you lot are a very small minority of that bunch.

From what I have read here, the seemingly racist term 'Gammon' is only relevant to a certain ethnic group.

Who is 'You lot'?

When you hate on different ethnic groups, do you always use 'You lot', I suspect you do.

You want to get that checked.

Surely someone would have to be an idiot grasping at straws to think its racist?

I identify as woke now and I need to tell you that your user ID is offensive PapaLazaru!

It's a disparaging term used to describe whites, so it is a racist term.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Woke is everywhere on social media. Maybe OP doesn't do Twitter of FB. Gammon is far less common and atm seems more limited to the UK.

That seems rather 'woke' of you.

I'm sure the hard of thinking can see any term as racist but as is term is not used for any ethnic group other than white British, It's pretty clear to someone with a brain.

 

[robgmun]

Thoughts?

 

[chroniclard]

Technically anyone can be a gammon, its not restricted to white people, if there any raging black brexiters in existence they can be gammons.

Just right wing cancel culture at work again. Much like they continue to try and cancel "racism".

Probably best not waste your time on a clearly troll, race baiting thread.

 

[robgmun]

Yes, you can be racist against your own race.

A prime example being the specific term choc-ice.

Or coconut.

Surely its anti racism they want to cancel?

I love the rush to post terms that the posters consider to be racist. Nice work guys. Will we be getting swear words now?

Had to google it TBH.

Gammon is a pejorative popularised in British political culture since around 2012. The term refers in particular to the colour of a person's flushed face when expressing their strong opinions, as compared to the type of pork of the same name.

Pretty sure that means that only the term is narrowed to certain skin colours that can turn the colour of gammon.

cancel culture at work again

Come on man, the leftists have confirmed that cancel culture is a conspiracy theory and does not exist, keep up at the back there.
