I'm going to email this topic to GBeebies

 

[D.P.]

It's been explained several times. It is a derogatory term based upon someone's skin colour and tone.

It is about people getting angry and red in the face. Isn't racist at all, but is derogatory, by purpose.

 

[D.P.]

Ask a judge that when you call someone a black ******* or a brown ****.

Well, if you are swearing and using racist insults then what do you expect?

Exactly, racist against red people, shocking. I've got a very fair skinned friend who would be appalled at this nickname, only if he'd recently been out in the sun though, otherwise he'd probably not be bothered.

If someone posts a pic of a non white person with a pink complexion, it will help move the thread along. Rare skin conditions don't count.

Why does physical appearance have to be mentioned at all?

Hey, i'm just wanting to know what the correct PC term is, now that the easily offended have cancelled "gammon" and others say we shouldn't talk about physical appearances .....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So any way, what about those "fat chavs" and "fat towie extras" eh?

Every woman looked like a Geordie Shore reject and the blokes were all fat towie extras.

Fat chavs or smack rats every time.

Can black people look like gammon? I don't think so...

You do realise black people can blush and become red-faced, don't you?

are you really that sheltered that you think P.o.C can't blush? I.e. have blood rush to their face? Sure it's harder to see on very dark skinned individuals but blushing due to anger at something isn't owned by white people.

They can't look like gammon though...

It's ironic that people acidly and heatedly debating whether "gammon" might be a racist slur is one of the very reasons for this programme's existence and fresh, none PC, take

I never said that. I asked for a pic of a non white that looks like gammon in colour. Burnt doesn't count either.

Are you seriously arguing that black people can look like gammon? Cmon....

This is the hysterical think about the righties though. It is all fun and games until they are in the limelight for employing the same tactics they accuse the left of.

Are you seriously saying black people only have one tone of black?

Cathy? Is that you?

I’ll stop taking offence at being called a gammon the day I can call someone a darkie without them taking offence. Deal?

No, it's a deliberate comparison between their complexion and meat.

DEROGATORY•INFORMAL
a middle-aged or older white man with conservative, traditionalist views, stereotypically characterized as having a red or flushed complexion.
"they had a discussion with some gammon who thinks climate change is a lie"

 

[200sols]

Now you are just trolling.

 

[Freakbro]

"DEROGATORY•INFORMAL" so not racist then?

I think the "white" part kind of makes it so, yes.
