For heaven's sake, don't get started on The Bard - A Midsummer's Night's Dream - A Fairy and a DONKEY
"Fairy" is so twentieth century. What's wrong with having an LGBTQ character and a furry in a play?

Evidently cancel culture is alive and well.
Yet he who is without sin cast the first black Jesus.
But according to oCUk GD standard, no one can give offense, people can only take offense.
Plus, why do you want to stifle free speech and cancel what other people say?

I don’t, if it worked both ways. Gammon refers to the colour of skin. If I was to do the same towards black people, how long would I last?

Was that a "typo" and are we now getting into the reality that is Star Wars

Just a blanket term for raging righties. Mebbe take half an hour in your safe space to recover.

It’s just the blatant double standards that infuriates me

...you just did refer to their skin colour. And you appear to be still here. So...what was your point again?
Then stop spitting the word 'woke' like you just ate a marzipan-coated anchovy.

Wouldn't be right leaning folk complaining about "safe spaces", yet have the most dangerous spaces, and nor would it be the right who cry about cancel culture but then demand everything they find offensive be stopped!

There are no double standards, ragers have just tried to make out its racist because it hits too close to home and they dont like it up them.

I didn’t refer to skin colour is a disparaging way did I?

Okay, so you see gammon as a pejorative. That's fine, though considering use of the term goes all the way back to 1604 and John Marston's writing you'd figure that the right would actually be fine with it, maybe even wear it as a badge of honour (see the character of Mr. Gregsbury in Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby as a prime example there).

I can't take the credit for that one, I'm pretty sure it's an old Jeremy Clarkson bit!

I feel like that might be a level of sweet/salty that even Americans wouldn't go to.
He was just pointing out the hypocrisy that exists, it's fair game to throw around racial insults towards white people but do so towards other races and its racist. The same goes for religion you can mock Christianity all you like but say a word against Islam and you're censored and cancelled and called an Islamophobe. The left do seem to believe in free speech and right to offend but only when it suits them, their ideology actually tolerates racism just along as its against the white majority.

There are no racial insults in the thread.

Never seen so many gammons getting so salty that they become flakes of snow 
Who's throwing around racial insults?
