Billy Jean King Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It’s a slur about someone’s skin colour.Gammon isn't a skin colour, it's an induced tone. Are you seriously now going to argue that people of colour also induce that tone ? Have a think about what you are posting ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US we’ve got about a sixth of the country actively believing that a credibly accused child rapist is saving the world from a shadowy group of elite vampiric paedophiles. Folks being taken in by nonsense isn’t funny anymore like in the days of Orson Welles or Chris Morris; it’s got actual consequences. I think you're giving a troll in a politics sub section of a Scottish football forum more credence than they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trolling has actually come from those who responded with sarcasm, name-calling and general rudeness. If you can explain why a negative slur about the skin colour of those of a particular race isn't racial then go ahead. While you're at it, you can also tell me if a similar insult would be accepted if it was against another race.. Blacks for example. Or you can hide behind the claim of 'trolling'. Racially specific isn't the same as racist. Racism involves prejudice based on race. Prejudice against angry, change-resistant xenophobes isn't based on race.

And you're goddamn right it's derogative. These reactionary recidivists hold up progress towards a better society and spread hate. They deserve to be mocked and shunned. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe backgammon originated in what’s now Turkey, so probably a bit muslimy. That’s a thing, do you get turkey gammon now, like turkey bacon?

Where can I join your campaign to get 'green with envy' taken out of conversation? An equally unacceptable negative slur about the skin colour, and indeed mental state, of those of a particular race, I'm sure you'll agree.

Put simply - it’s a racial slur. it’d be the equivalent to calling a Black person black pudding or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Crayola used to manufacture crayons with a colour called Flesh. It was supposedly the skin colour of white people. The same crayons are now called Peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 There are 2 street parties organised for the whole of Aberdeen.
