England | right wing knuckle draggers on the streets

Seeing a lot of gammonists in this thread.
 
What are you going on about?

The word gammon is to me a racist slur, because it has only ever been used to described a particular race of people.
Do you consider the term 'radical Islamist terrorist' a slur because it only refers to people of a certain faith? What about Nazi?
 
So... your saying that the word gammon makes you think of a white middle age man?

Is it not a racial slur?

Of course it’s not a racial slur ffs. Grow up.

Only gammons would put their hand in the air and suggest that being called one was anything like in the same galaxy as a real racial slur.

Honestly. Grow up lad. It’s shorthand for ‘Fat, pink faced, privileged twat’.

Gluttonous Arseholes, Mostly Mouthy, Overweight & Nasty, if you want a suitable acronym.

It’s not even a hill to die on. You’re standing on a mound of earth the size of a golf divot. Let it go man.
 
Is it targeting a group of people by race? Or age? Or Political view?
Others have beaten me to it, but it’s from turning a shade of red due to anger. And like Pogue said all three which makes it a real cracker of a jibe
That you don't like white people around 30-70 - It's okay I don't like crackers, much prefer biscuits
Well I am a white person of 30-70 (just, though I am eternally youthful). Do I hate myself? Yes. But not all 30-70 white dudes.
 
What would actually be a racial slur for a white person... I'm struggling to think of one in portuguese.
 
Do you consider the term 'radical Islamist terrorist' a slur because it only refers to people of a certain faith?
I've not really thought about it, but if they are a terrorist because of the radical Islamic beliefs then I guess no.

Same as right wing terrorist they are a terrorist because of their ideology

I think the definition of it need to be there to understand the reason (or source) of the radicalisation

What do you think? just call them terrorists?

Again... one more time.... its the definition of a slur.
Cracker maybe? Honky?
gora pakora means white people who are retarded :lol:

These are almost all American (except gringo), but none are actually offensive: cracker, honky, peckerwood, gringo, haole.
 
Gammon is not a racist term but obviously has some racial characteristics. It's best to not use it imo, as it causes division. This thread was almost unanimously united for 60+ pages, and now people are insulting each other for disagreeing about it. It sidetracks from the main objective, condemning the racist riots and the populist leaders who have actively encouraged the violence.

I work in health care and have many black and Asian colleagues. Some of them voted leave/ukip/reform. People of all races can be fecking idiots. I think some of them are starting to realise that they have sided with the wrong crowd though. It's a bit sensitive at the minute so I'm not prying much, but aim to push it a bit further of the coming weeks. We've seen people attacked and have their businesses and property burnt just because the colour of their skin by these cnuts. Any veneer of "its not about race" has been wiped away.

Then the same applies to 'gammon'. Its a subset of people belonging to a particular race/creed (as with Islamist terrorists belonging to the Muslim faith, and Nazis consisting exclusively of white people). You're not conflating their easily identifiable ideology, beliefs and behaviour with that of the wider ethnic group they belong to. So its ludicrous to suggest it being racist.
 
OK, I think I've only heard those in 90s films or chris rock stand ups. Can't imagine any white person actually feeling offended by those. Some brazilian friends call me gringo, they use for all non-brazilians and they mean no insult.
 
The mother of two brothers jailed for burglary after a library was set on fire and looted during riots in Liverpool has spoken to Sky News outside court. She said they just got "carried away" and their behaviour was "very out of character".
Adam Wharton, who acted as the lookout, was arrested nearby with a balaclava on him. The court heard he has 16 previous convictions for 28 offences including attempted robbery, robbery, thefts, assault and burglary, and has served previous prison sentences.
Out of character :lol:
