Use of the word GAmmon is a racist slur

[Whorty]

That makes it even more offensive, because it is stereotyping white people with a disability, which is that by involuntarily going red in the face when angry they are disadvantaged by being unable to conceal their anger!

Is the little snowflake getting a bit upset? Diddums Maybe MTFU and you'll feel a bit better

This is a joke, right??

This is a joke, right??

I think it was intended that way. It certainly made me chuckle.

If you drink a bottle of whiskey, and then say "Racist", you get a racist slur.

[Uncle Albert]

So, it obviously isn't, since you say that it is intended only to apply to people based on their political leanings.

Not all white skinned people go red when they get upset.
Donald Trump is a right wing xenophobic racist, but he's not a gammon as he stays orange.
Likewise Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, he stays white.
There's plenty of white supremacists in the world who don't go red when their snowflakery is upset, and they demonstrate zero tolerance for anyone who doesn't fully agree with them.

He might not be a gammon, but he certainly has hammish tendencies...

Pertinent advice from the Mash.

How to comment on Mail Online
9th April 2019

ARE you unsure how to jump into commenting in the bearpit of vicious invective that is the Daily Mail’s website? Here’s how:

Coherence is for lefties


Instead of taking the extra seconds to make your point clear, take a scattershot approach bringing in Corbyn, Churchill, Kourtney Kardashian, what your mate told you about wind turbines and CBeebies liberal bias.


Hate everything

Mail Online comments are basically an online therapy session for life’s losers, so vent your bitterness against everything. If a cute kitten has been given a prosthetic leg, ask why the limb wasn’t given to a British soldier maimed in ‘one of Tony B Liar’s wars’.

Keep your views just to the right of Hitler

Don’t just be a suburban fascist. Instead come at issues from a weird ultra-right perspective utterly divorced from reality, for example calling Tory chancellor Philip Hammond a ‘hard-left Fidel Castro communist’.

Make the old ‘Who?’ joke

Prove just how reactionary you are by pretending to be ignorant of globally famous figures such as Taylor Swift by commenting ‘Who?’ like a High Court judge in the 1960s. Extra points if you only do it to women.

Bring your personal bugbear into everything

Against the EU? Well, that’s germane to Brexit, Harry and Meghan, Easter eggs, Holly Willoughby’s diet news, a viral cip of a lizard in a bowling alley and a scare scory about building society interest rates. Get it on.

Stupidly-punctuated racism

If you’re slagging Muslims – it’s always Muslims – use punctuation to confuse software filtering out racism, eg ‘M.u.S – li .ms’. Much as Germans in the 1930s would write to Der Sturmer about ‘d-i.e J_u_den’.

This is a joke, right??

Yes of course. I don't give a stuff who calls who a gammon or snowflake, or anything else for that matter.
