Is 'gammon' a racial slur?

[removed]

I see a lot of lefties on twitter calling white men gammons.

How is this acceptable?

It's a term based on one's skin colour, and stereotyping by colour is always wrong.

Never heard the word before. Is it like when people of the 78 made up genders called us “Cis Scum?”

It's primarily a brit thing so maybe Americans haven't heard of it. The answer to the OP is yes, basically.

[Sparked_26]

it is them calling what they perceive to be Brexit-y, anti-vac, anti-mask, bigoted, I remember whens..., racists, put a pound in a charity box? Will I ****ers' - Gammons.

But yeah they're all pink so it is textbook racist because they're attributing the pink ness to all those negative views.

Karen is also racist because it is a catch all generalisation. Some poor woman somewhere is probably being called a Karen for mobilising her community to putting their bins out on time or some s.hit.

Some white 50 year old man is being called a gammon for driving a new Audi and being seen wearing an England football top.

It's another way of saying "pink-skin"......

It's covert racism. That's like me calling black people "darkies" or some shiat.

In other news, I had gammon steak the other night...... beautiful.

Down with the White man










Honestly I have never heard that term before but black people are allowed to be racist now so it's ok.

I am mixed.



My father was Puerto Rican and Cuban born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. My grandfather was from Guantanamo, Cuba.

He looked just like Rigondeaux swear to God.




My mother was Irish and part German (great grand father so it probably doesn't count) she was born in Galway, Ireland.



Technically I'm a first generation American.

That's cool man, lot of history in your family and a good mix of cultures..... I guess you don't even see race as you got them all mixed in

I am just pure white...... Got Irish and Scottish in the family, just going by Surname of my Parents and grandparents..... just a Celt basically, maybe some Viking mixed in there from 1000 years ago lol

It's cool, until the sun comes out and I burn like a crisp if I spend 2 hours in it.
