Hadrian's wall not about the Romans

I'm not, I'm trying to weedle out of you why you think gammon is a racist term, you're the one that keeps using racist terms and getting all angry about it.

I've explained it several times...its a slur based upon someones physical appearance. I even gave you a host of other examples. How does that not compute with you?

 

[Dis86]

He made a good point and you made an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy

What good point would that be?

So hung up on definitions. The person credited for inventing gammon said it meant nothing but middle class person set in their ways who didn't listen.

I took that onboard, then asked you to qualify further by asking if that distinct physical appearance qualified gammons as a race. You've still not answered me with anything other than deflection and abuse.

I'm the one who coined the term gammon – and now I deeply regret it

Gammon has been seized upon by the radical left. It feels a little nastier. More weaponised. I’ve seen a couple of things which seemed classist, which was odd because to me, gammons were middle class golf club types

Independent made a brilliant SEO link for it lol!

You haven't taken it onboard at all. Is yellow a race? Or ****?

Weird, seeing as it's been in use for hundreds of years...

However if you do take him as being the one that coined it even he says its now being used as a slur!

You're still doing it. Answer the question.

The little snippet there, 'seized upon by the radical left'. Then I look at the arch gammon supporters in this thread who still insist on using the term, yep.

I've answered the question. You just don't like the answer as it reveals you to be a horrible little racist.

You don't have 100 posts per page?

I honestly don't think thsi thread is even worth the effort of trying to save, as it looks like i'd have to delete around 90% of the posts to try and get it somewhat on topic, so lock it is.
