By another person of the same race it can't be racist.

That's why it's all right for black people to use the you know what word amongst themselves.
 
It looks like some people can't read.

Gammon is a pejorative popularised in British political culture since around 2012. In 2018, it became particularly known as a term to describe middle-aged white men, either on the political right or who supported Brexit.[1][2] The term refers in particular to the colour of such a person's flushed face, especially when expressing their strong opinions, as compared to the type of pork of the same name.

There has been considerable debate over whether the term is racist.

Gammon is a pejorative. So what,? So is twonk, idiot, dopey whats'it, etc.
They are not racist terms.

Wiki says that there has been some debate over whether 'gammon' is racist. It does not conclude either way.
No doubt the 'gammons' have been arguing it is racist, so they can use the racist slur against others.
Meanwhile the ones using the term 'gammon' argue that it isn't racist.

Just because it refers to the colour that middle-aged white men go, when they get all of a tizz, it doesn't automatically mean it's racist.
If you call someone 'fat', it isn't racist. It isn't a protected characteristic, because it's not a condition forced upon them by circumstances. Being middle-aged, and taking on the colour of gammon when getting into a tizz isn't a protected characteristic.
Therefore it's not racist, and it's not discriminatory.

If gammon is a racist term, then so is snowflake.

Where does it say angry in the definition?

When I lived and worked in South Africa in the early eighties, the blacks were black as in a black coffee and the coloureds were black as in a coffee with a splash of milk. Those two shades of black didn’t get on very well.

The jet blacks and part blacks sounds appropiate.
