If "to gammon" previously meant to huff and puff about things then it wouldn't be racist as old gits from every background are as guilty as each other of this. But from your description it IS racist... Have you seen it used to refer to non-whites, ever?
Just leave the racist stuff alone or the rest of us will think you are a racist prick.
Doesn't matter if it refers to whites only. It's not racist because it's largely whites using it to refer to other whites. It's no more racist than callling an angry person a red faced loon, which equally doesn't work so well with non whites.Just leave the racist stuff alone or the rest of us will think you are a racist prick.
Nor is it any more racist than a black person calling another black person the n word.
I think there must be a correlation between snowflakery and an inability to grasp things llke context, meaning and intent.

If he can be deported that's fine by me.Afraid I just find it grimly predictable that the moment it's someone with brown skin and a non-English name and before any info is known the "deport them" s
t starts.That isn't me defending him it's being able to hold two opposing thoughts in my head at the same time.

Yep. Not hard to grasp for most. Nor is it any more racist than a black person calling another black person the n word.

Snowflake comes from being delicate and regarding one's uniqueness as a valuable attribute.
Gammon comes from reference to a skin colour. Some claim it's used to refer to a windbag for reasons they can't explain, but I've never heard someone use gammon to refer to Sadiq Khan, for example.
The skin colour you refer to is because it derived from overweight little Englanders whose gammon coloured cheeks grow increasingly red and purple as they raged about the latest headline in the Daily Mail.

To call it racist is pure comedy. But entirely predictable. It’s about as racist as Karen.
To say that and claim it's not racist isn't comedy, it's actually stupidity.
Thank you for confirming it's racism.
Anyone seen the CCTV?
It's obviously poor quality, and a very frantic incident but I can't really work out the situation.
He, wife and child were in the white Corsa?
Then there's a crash, doors are open and people are running around the car.
Then someone is nearly run over - the wife? The assailant?
It's quite confusing from the video.

king Christ. How can a white man calling another white man a gammon be racist. If someone blushes a lot and I call them ‘ketchup’ is that also racism.
Gammon is not a race. This isn’t hard unless you’re very very slow.

How does it feel to be what you claim to despise?

The law doesn't see it like that.

You’re very free and easy with calling people racist aren’t you. How does it feel to be what you claim to despise?
I’ll help you out. Racism is “"belief in the superiority of a particular race".

This question is open to all to answer.

Sadly, my first thought was “if that’s what he’s done to himself what must his victims look like?” https://news.sky.com/story/clapham-chemical-attack...

If someone wears a particular item of clothing and someone else says they look like a letter box, is that racist?
This question is open to all to answer.
Is that particular item of clothing specified by a religion? Might that religion also be followed by people of many races. You’re doing well mixing up hate crimes here. Do you think Islam is a race? This question is open to all to answer.
Are there any other entirely unrelated things you’d like to drag in to further confirm your ignorance?

Honestly...what have we become?
Some poor people have been attacked, including kids with acid...and some choose to argue like silly little primary school kids over name calling?
Pathetic, just pathetic beyond belief. Stop it, you utter bell ends!
Do not downplay racist language as merely "name calling". You wouldn't if it was targeted at any other groups.Some poor people have been attacked, including kids with acid...and some choose to argue like silly little primary school kids over name calling?
