Is it cool to make fun of other people.. I think not.. Some1 like Hummond is a prick and pricks who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones..

Blah Blah Blah

Edit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12361873 and this as well... I am surprised at Stephen Fry

I think people should get a grip, it was a joke. That is the sort of stuff you expect when watching Top Gear.

Although I'd like to the see them now do a drive through Mexico Laughing

jokes that put people down and make fun of them aren't that funny.. It is being a bully or racialism..

Then surely you've just massively contradicted yourself in a matter of posts? Confused

Case and point of how the world has gotten far to serious and its beyond a joke if you ask me.

Can you imagine the uproar if this was released in todays world as a new program?

Dont mention the war

Imagine the complaints you'd get if that was filmed last month and shown on tv for the first time? And yet we are supposed to be living in a more liberal era then that!

As I said earlier. The worlds gone far to PC. Its not a black board anymore its a chalk board. They dont even paint the bloody things black anymore to prevent people taking offence.

[rant over]

So something that may not necessarily offend you to begin with may become offensive if everyone else starts whining about it?

That's a bit of a sheep mentality is it not?

Lee is very very funny. The difference between him and the TG numpties is that he realises the difference between comedy and a mindless rant. That Mexican bit wasn't offensive, it was just shit and pointless.

I'm starting to realise that the best way to watch TG is to mute it for all of the studio parts.

Knock knock jokes (although they are not very funny).

I watched that episode with my wife, who happens to be Mexican and certainly doesn't fit their description having just completed a PhD (thesis was over 100,000 words!). I thought their rant was unwarranted and was just a repeat of the typical view of them that the americans like to portray. In my experience they're harder working than many other people, especially the yanks that use them for low paid labor. Needless to say I found it embarrasing to watch.

A joke maybe, but it was still pretty offensive.

This I'd love to see, especially if they would care to drive around Ciudad Juarez (look it up, lovely place, NOT!), slowly, in expensive cars plastered with banners saying "unarmed very wealthy white guys". Hopefully they'd learn about what average mexican person has to put up with day to day.

Its only "bullying" or "racist" if is it said maliciously.

I have a mate i call fat toe.
His name is tony, and he is fat.

I have another mate i call Swiss Tony
His name is tony and he aint swiss but calling some-one swiss could be classed as a put-down i suppose.

Is that bullying?

no?

well shut the fuck up then.

I know a dude call big black jay
He is big, he is black and his name is jay.
He considered himself as the "token" in the bike club.

Is it racist of me to call him big black jay or token?

No?

well shut the fuck up then.
