Rishi Sunak is never going to be the colour of Gammon under any stress condition, no way no how,ffs.What Ferkin colour is the gammon down your way?????
It's a label given to some. Whether they actually have that characteristic doesn't matter.
I'm not really black, but I might be labeled as Black. I might be female, but have the reproductive organs of a male. It is a way of suggesting the expected behaviour, decisions and appearance of an individual.
When will you understand that it is a label applied to some to suggest their political beliefs or their behaviour. They don't have to have all the characteristics to fit into a category.
Some may have some of the characteristics, but I doubt if all of them have all the characteristics. That's the way labels work. They suggest the characteristics of those being labeled by the conglomeration of the characteristics.

The term was created to describe white men old bean.

A term used to describe a particular type of Brexit-voting, europhobic, middle-aged white male, whose meat-faced complexion suggests they are perilously close to a stroke
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gammon

“I’m appalled by the term ‘gammon’ now frequently entering the lexicon of so many (mainly on the left),” she tweeted yesterday. “This is a term based on skin colour and age – stereotyping by colour or age is wrong no matter what race, age or community.”

There's quite an array of explanations in the Urban Dictionary, wally.
Here's another:
The description better matches remainers however due to the fact that the majority of the protestors against Brexit are often Labour voters​
Here's another:
Northern Australian Slang (Primarily in the NT)
Popular among the aboriginal people and other people who have lived in the NT (especially alice springs) for a few years.​
And another:
A term of derision used by the metropolitan elite to describe those with differing views and opinions.

From your source:
But the latest insult has caused the most backlash. “Gammon” has increasingly become shorthand for a conservative middle-aged man, who is raging and red in the face when voicing his opinions, which are generally unimaginative tropes swallowed straight from right-wing tabloids.
Going by my memory, “gammon” was first used as a political put-down in columns by The Times journalist Caitlin Moran
Last year, a tweeter pointed out the identical scarlet and irate expressions of Question Time audience members during the post-general election special, calling them the “Great Wall of gammon”. This led to the use of a hashtag to mock over-representation of middle-aged white men: “#wallofgammon”.​
Do you see any reference to any ethnicity there? I can't, wally. The phrase 'over-representation of middle-aged white men' absolutely does not preclude any other ethnicity.
The comment you presented was an opinion of one. Let's put a name to that one person: Democratic Unionist Party MP Emma Little-Pengelly.
Well Cor blimey, it's only a DUP MP (well known for their bigoted political attitudes). A daughter of a known terrorist:
Little-Pengelly is the daughter of Maureen Elizabeth Little and the loyalist volunteer Noel Little
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Little-Pengelly
If you prefer the Urban Dictionary, or the Newstatesman, or even the opinion of DUP MPs over more authoritative publications, that's your choice.
But you are a proven racist, who tells lies, so your opinion is of little consequence.

Himmie doesnt understand what the word 'white' means.

Perhaps its why he posted images of people of colour, claiming they could be described as gammons.

Oh dear oh dear, I expect we will see loads of wriggling, backtracking, swerving drivel trying to argue gammon is merely a political pejorative term.

Oh no wait a minute, the twaddle has already started :ROFLMAO:

Hows George, that fine upstanding British citizen (y)

Wally's arguments have been totally dismantled again, so he resorts into his absurd fantasy world.
I'll leave him there rather than burst his bubble again.

Bless, Himmies been proven wrong, he's gone away to sulk :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
He believes in racial esentialism, as do you. So neither of you are qualified to distinguish twaddle from reality.
You both believe in racial esentialism to justify your racist attitudes.
Please show where I have said that.

You introduced the term and said that was what I believed.



The same tactic as you are now using by saying I think Wikipedia is unbelievable twaddle.
 
I've just realised who you (Himmy et al) remind me of.

It's Anjam Chaudhury - obviously knowledgeable, eloquent and well spoken (I didn't say intelligent) but all the time spouting absolutely unbelievable twaddle.

You breathlessly rant for so long, browbeating the opposition by spouting so many irrelevant, spurious and fatuous pretend facts that by the time you do take a breath and allow a response there are so may of these irrelevant, spurious and fatuous pretend facts to reply to that it makes meaningful conversation impossible before you prematurely start again with more ranting.

Perhaps you too are just a misguided fundamentalist {something} languishing in a room of your own hoping to one day be a chief constable in the thought police.

Whatever you are, and whatever your purpose for being here, it is very worrying and annoying.
