Einhard · 02-02-2011 01:14AM

how is he a spa

isn't he describing the sterotypical image of mexican person

just like they do with every other sterotype in the world :rolleyes:

when I make a sports car they'll be talking about how it probably needs guiness for the windscreen wiper tank and whiskey instead of petrol :rolleyes:

it's top gear - what do you expect

I wonder if you said that about Nigerians what would happen

They were ripping the piss out of them on Mexican tv. My south american friend was translating for me. Saying that they had **** teeth, the queen is ugly and they invented football and are **** at it

I just hate hammond really. Don't mind the other two too much but hammond is a fool

I like James May but I find Top Gear a difficult watch.

The dwarf and Curly car nerd being blokes.

All a bit Alan Partridge.

The Mexicans got off lightly compared to the way they treated them poor Aussies.

because when he does it he has zero sense of irony.

also his personality irks me and he's a sh1t presenter. Cringe worthy stuff most of the time

Bull ****. You are as bad as them to agree with them.

You have no clue about Mexico or their people by the sounds of it.;)

made a full recovery apparently.. back to his idiotic self? hard to discern

lets see, hates cars.. looks a bit mexican.. you can bet Top Gear's not on my radar. i have however had the misfortune of seeing one of his general science for dummies type broadcasts. he's like a big-eyed bug i want to squish

Sheeps · 02-02-2011 01:36AM

why do people care so much? its not like it's your tax payers money paying for them to be on the air. if you don't like it dont watch it.

Oh that's your answer for everything.

Remember when you said that about paedophiles as well?

Yeah well they're still preverts, even if you're not watching them!

Top Gear, not afraid to use the jokes that even Al Murray discards. :rolleyes:

A Mexican threw his wife off a cliff the other day.

When questioned by police as to why he'd done it, he replied, “Tequila”.

TeddyTedson · 02-02-2011 01:41AM

I can't watch Top Gear too often with Jeremy Clarkson, what an awful man.
If Andy Gray got sacked for sexism I don't see why these shouldn't be sacked for racism.
I personally don't think they should though. It's obvious they're just taking the piss and even if they were being serious it says a lot more about them than Mexicans.

Did you hear about that Mexican that went to college?

And the backlash against Richard Hammond quickens apace. I wonder how many of the people posting negative comments about him won't hear a bad word said against him just after his crash?

Personally I'm completely apathetic towards the Top Gear presenters, I watch the show but I am under no illusions that the persona's taken on by Hammond, May or Clarkson bear little resemblance to what they are like in real life. It's a scripted entertainment show people, they go for the cheap, quick laugh and should not be taken seriously. I lived with a German lad and he absolutely loved the show despite the sheer amount of anti-German comments the presenters come out with on a weekly basis.

If a German can see the funny side of similar comments while you just see offensive slurs then I suggest you check your funny bones, they seem to have been replaced by your patellar tendon.

So what!

Our thriving Irish owned and built sports car industry is booming and the spud production levels in the midlands is breaking global levels!

They are English pricks who have just deeply insulted an entire country. Why?

They should step back and have a long hard look at the way they conduct themselves

He didn't pass his exams as he only had Juan Sheet to write on.

Thing that bugs me is that it's not clever ironic racism...

It's bog standard cliché stuff.

I think they were just having a bit of banter. These stereotypes are pretty much set in stone.
Mexicans-lazy
Irish-Drunk and stupid
Welsh-Inbred
Scottish-Red hair punchies
English-Posh arseholes

What if you don't find them funny, not because you find them offensive, but because you find that they run-through the same tiresome 'oh, look at me being outrageously politically-incorrect unlike those humourless politically-correct liberals' routine ad naseum?

An Arab, Frenchman, American and a Mexican are riding down the highway. The Arab picks up an AK-47. He shoots a couple of rounds and then throws the gun out the window. The American asks him why he threw the gun out the window and the Arab says they have so many of those where he is from, he doesn't care about what happens to them.

The Frenchman picks up a bottle of wine and drinks a little and throws it out the window. The American asks him why he tossed it. The Frenchman says they have so much of it where he is from, he doesn't care what happens to it.

The American picks up the Mexican and throws him out the window.

If us Irish can take it, so can everyone else.

Top Gear should not be taken literally.

Top Gear doesn't like Mexicans it seems
