Top Gear was full of racism, they seemed to get away with offensive remarks often, in the name of "humour"
Mexico insults (February 2011)
Richard Hammond joked that Mexican cars reflected national characteristics, saying they were “just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat”. May described Mexican food as “like sick with cheese on it”. Clarkson predicted they would not get any complaints because “at the Mexican embassy, the ambassador is going to be sitting there with a remote control like this [snores]. They won’t complain, it’s fine.”
It was pretty stale then. And most of this was just filler during the bland news section.
James May's comments are harmless though. If we couldn't insult other people's food the world would be a poorer place.
Hopefully we get more programmes with James May as despite being labelled dull and slow he is actually the more interesting and likeable of the lot.
Richard Hammond is a sycophantic little imp that shouldn't be allowed to drive cars without a chaperone on the second steering wheel.
