It's so hard to know what is and isn't cultural appropriation these days.

I bloody hate that term.

Cultural appropriation is a compliment. Someone copies something from your culture because they enjoy it. That's a celebration of diversity ffs.

Yeah, i mean why can't those indigenous people just let us take their shit? We like it, so why can't we have it?

I guess I should've guessed a thread about something in rugby was gonna be filled with gammon chortling about how funny ethnic minorities are.

It was fun while it lasted, but you're trying to hard now.

And here we have a middle aged white man slowly realising he's actually been a bit racist. Now, instead of apologising he simply gets defensive, huffy and red faced. A state known today as "gammon".

hahaha put your rod away. 'middle aged'..cheeky little Kuntaddick.

I'm sorry but you're on a wind up.

No way anyone born after 1980 is called Gary.

Names of people that are angry i assumed their gender:

Dave
Stu

actually, i pointed out that you had assumed "everyone's" gender. twice.

cafcdave logic : Feel free to criticise and mock indigenous people's dances. But don't assume some one's gender on a predominately white male message board.

Righto.

So because my parents gave me a male name I can only identify as a male? Are you from the 1950s?

I had no idea you were made to register on this forum as your christian name? 

I'm proud of my name, why would I not use it?

I have no idea? Maybe if you didn't identify with the gender its associated with? 

So now you're going to tell me what names are appropriate for me to use? Amazing stuff. 

Here we should have a middle aged white man slowly realising he's actually been a bit sexist and ageist. Now, instead of apologising he simply gets defensive, huffy and red faced. A state known today as "being a massive c***".

Ah, more name calling. Lovely stuff.

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.

You then started being racist and didn't like it when you were called a bad name.

When did I say my comment was anything to do with you? 

Honest question - when was I being racist?

Where does the tag "gammon" come from. Genuine question

Dickens coined it in Nicholas Nickleby 

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.
