I didn't even know there was a question.
Do you mean whether ethnic minorities can be racist against white people in the UK?
If that is the question, I will try to answer.

Honestly don’t worry about it. I was asking Mitch.
I didn’t expect an answer with any substance from you.

Me?
It's a good question. I want to answer. But I didn't want to answer the wrong thing and look stupid!
I actually think we have transcended the original paradigm. My own take has always been that Gammon applies to anyone who starts frothing at the mouth over right wing hobby horses. That is certainly what I meant last year when I triggered the "G word" row with my "gammon bingo" comment. I believe it can be apply equally to men and women of all races and colours. Anger is the essential element for me.
But even if it only meant red faced angry white men, I still haven't found a decent explanation of why that would be racist. It is the anger that is being mocked. Red faced angry white men are not a race.
But the (almostl equivalent term would be "Karen".
Which would have the logical conclusion that men and women are different races.
Possibly?

How a random word can be interpreted as racist.
I’m sure the black man calling you Honkey didn’t mean it, it’s just a term/word.

And women of colour.
Hence it isn't about white men, not about race.
It's about behaviours
I'm flattered

That’s your opinion.And women of colour.

It's about behaviours
Can you provide more than that ? No you can’t.

We don’t see eye to eye, but that was beneath you.
I would say it definitely would be racial hatred, if it was said with that intent.
The difficulty you get into with these issues comes down to how you define racism.
Some people think it means racial hatred. Others that it mean racial discrimination.

It's not my opinion; it's what logically follows Mitch's post (to which I was replying).
