Why are you getting offended on behalf of others?kentaddick said:
Okay, well, why does it offend you?Stu_of_Kunming said:
Language evolves, just because a word was once not offensive does not mean it stays that way forever.kentaddick said:

Where does the tag "gammon" come from. Genuine questionkentaddick said:
When did I say my comment was anything to do with you?Stu_of_Kunming said:
You must be drunk, I didn't insult the haka at all, in fact I asked if it should be protected from cultural appropriation by the New Zealand national team.kentaddick said:ITT: White people getting angry and dropping C bombs after being called out.
You then started being racist and didn't like it when you were called a bad name.
Honest question - when was I being racist?
Here's the quote:
The time had been, when this burst of enthusiasm would have been cheered to the very echo; but now, the deputation received it with chilling coldness. The general impression seemed to be, that as an explanation of Mr. Gregsbury’s political conduct, it did not enter quite enough into detail; and one gentleman in the rear did not scruple to remark aloud, that, for his purpose, it savoured rather too much of a 'gammon' tendency.The meaning of that term—gammon,' said Mr. Gregsbury, 'is unknown to me. If it means that I grow a little too fervid, or perhaps even hyperbolical, in extolling my native land, I admit the full justice of the remark. I am proud of this free and happy country. My form dilates, my eye glistens, my breast heaves, my heart swells, my bosom burns, when I call to mind her greatness and her glory.
