Gammons are everywhere!

White, middle aged or older, many of them seriously overweight, who get red in the face when they start telling you their views (usually far right wing nasties). They are called gammons.

lol thats actually kinda racist, and i'm pretty strict with that definition.
@Ryannnnnn As opposed to GENUINELY racist, like calling Iranians "r**heads* and goatf***ers, for example? I am taking a pop at my fellow countrymen. I see and hear the gammon behaviour on a daily basis. Some spout their filth in the store where I help my Mum. I am white, btw.

@jackieash still, just seems kinda dehumanising considering someone just has a different opinion.
@Ryannnnnn You don't think "r**head" dehumanising? Rampant racism isn't dehumanising?

@jackieash ? why would you do the same thing if you find it dehumanising?
@Ryannnnnn It is
NOT the same at all. It's not comparable. Calling out other countries based on stuff you heard in the pub or read in the tabloids is just racism of the worst kind. I have become weary of trying to talk to people who won't even listen to why they are being racist. They take
Pride in their ignorance.

@jackieash It is dehumanising, its just not as high on the scale. Leave being a shithead to the shitheads, theres enough of them as it is. I've argued with people like that before about stuff like "the muslims are going to take over the country!" etc. and we ended up telling eachother to go fuck ourselves. Its just fear though, people in their bubbles in small towns.

I went up and said sorry after because its stupid and its just opinions and he said no I see your point. We didn't like eachother but we came to an understanding. If I'd of just called him a shithead he wouldn't of considered my opinion. Point is you don't change minds by insulting them.
@Ryannnnnn It's not as if there haven't been any education initiatives to beat this. It's not just words. There are those people who are in fear of assault, discrimination and worse simply because of their ethnicity. I'm not. And neither are these men who call out other people and races.

@jackieash So every middle aged white person is now a racist because you ran across a couple of ignorant people. You you realize you are racist when you stand up snd virtual signal because you think you have a higher moral ground just because you think you represent and speak for other people of colour?? . That is not only racist in its own way but elitist. Who put you there as the spokesperson for all others? That is typical for people like you. You reslly know nothing about the world and you are totally self-absorbed. When infact you suffer from low self esteem. People like you are so scared of their fragile image and need to belong thst any one challenging them is automatically an enemy or a racist. The world is in trouble if people like you ever run it. Because you will be killing people not matter what colour if yhey don't submit to YOUR beliefs.People are getting sick of this postering shit.Long before you came along there were those middle aged white people actually doing something and putting their lives on the line fir prople from other countries and actually helping them. You stand on your pulpit and scream racist because you have no identity yourself and you are just trying to belong. And that is ok.You are probably a good hearted kind person. You can't be thst bad if you like animals. But your thinking is juvenile and childish and self centred. Grow up a bit and do something to actually helo the people you claim to care about so much. Why don't you start by quitting your job and giving it to someone less fortunate from those countries. Ah but that would be too scary because it would actually impact you for a change. I am sure you don't have a problem offering everyone else's money and support but when it comes to tou you don't practice what you preach. And by the way some of the people you just put down probaly have daughters you age wondering why some one like you spews hate. AND ixpooh is right. You dehumanised people and IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME.Shame on you for trying to justify it.

Oh yeah one more thing.. Start thinking for yourself and use some critical thinking instead of buying into all this crap that like some one else said, only serves to polarize people further I t shows you are gullible and not unique when you spew that bullshit. In fact what you say abd how you dress is conformist. There are 1000's of people just like you thinking they're are unique, sauve, and cool when you are just a dime a dozen and yesterday's news. . Your diatribe serves no one It only serves to prop up yourover inflated ego. You want to stand out and shine, You want to be different and make a mark on this word? Then quit judging people and get off your ass and do something to change the world, because right now your mentality is the same as those extreme right wing racists.

@jackieash or even calling white middle aged men gammons! Yes you are right, there are a lot of people around like that that Call ALL people these things when they find there point of view threatened Wonder how you woukd handle it if a person of colour disagreed with you and CALLED you our dor your racist judgmental comnents or called you out for self appointinf yourself their spokesperson? They do have their own voices you know and a person line you might actually frighten them and xause them harm indirectly by drawing unwanted attention to them, when in fact they have a better way to deal with situations then you offer. Ever think of that?? They just MIGHT be smart enough to handle these situations without your help ya? Or do you think they are weak stupid people with no voice that need your help?? Lol. Now what you should do is get yourself some therapy to find out why your need to "belong" is so great that you have to polarize and judge people to make you feel better about yourself. That is the real issue here.
