This is hilarious because I came up with a few people it could offend before arriving at the actual reason:
-Jewish people (because of ham)
-“Put the Christ back in Christmas” people
-Vegetarians/vegans
-Edgelords who resent even being reminded of Christmas
You missed Hamas
It’s actually the Jews who asked to pull it out because it sounds like Hamas
They call Hamas “Ham” to save time.
And because they all secretly love pork even though it’s haram.
I mean who doesn’t like pork? If I had to pick one type of meat and that’s all I’m allowed to eat for the rest of my life I’d choose pork
Unpopular opinion: Pork over beef. Anyday.
Jewish people don’t give a shit about other people eating ham.
Not entirely true. Go eat a ham sandwich outside a Hasidic synagogue when they’re being let out of temple; probably gonna cause a stir. Especially if said temple is in Israel proper.
Granted, I’d find it hard to believe such a sandwich eater wasn’t trying to stir shit, so maybe getting yelled at is justified….but you see my point, i hope
Adding context that makes it an obvious attempt to insulting does not contradict the statement that they don’t care about others eating ham. They care about the obvious intent to be offensive.
Keep in mind that if someone was eating a sandwich it would be hard for them to even know if it was ham without the person making a scene about it.
