Top Gear Under Review for Racial Slurs...

[raised by monkeys]

Agreed. It's learned behaviours. Young children dont have the life experience to develop racial views, maladaptive behaviours maybe, but certainly far from radical racial hate

Well, I guess you would expect that.....it's a "pommie" show isn't it?

Oh yeah... I think the show is rubbish also.

There is also the opposite side of the coin where Mum and Dad teach their children tolerance and equality.

Rubbish ! Send a kid off to school the mother and father have no rights nowadays with PC brats and low life running the schools system the way it has become.
My brother had to take his kid out of a school, it think it was 2 weeks into grade 1 as his girl was being threatened by a little brat who raped a grade 1 girl before, not only this but it was a catholic school that he took her to as he thought there would be a better standard than that of a rubbish hopeless state school system. but he found this rape thing out as it was hidden from the public as only people of his rank of position can find all this out you know !
He went right off at the principal and the principal could do nothing at all about it as his hands were tied by a whole lot of PC trash.
This brat kid who comes from a community that rape is common place even of baby's you know.

Children are not born evil but they can become evil or because of mental illness or what goes on around them.

Prejudice is the word ? it has to do with lack of intelligence.

Some one who knows racial difference as to culture difference, that's got to do with intelligence and there is nothing wrong with that.

There is no such thing as equality as history has proven there never has been nor ever will be and people don't have to put up and tolerate some things esp PC halfwits.

My elder brother says he could not care less what people call him as long as they don't call him late for lunch, and I agree that is true.

My mother hated the Germans because she was in the war and all her mob would talk down about the Germans non stop when I was a kid and I remember coming across my first German I must of been about 6 yo and I could not see any thing wrong with him at all, in fact all the Germans impressed me that I came across and to me they were the best people of all and I could not fault them as they were hard working did quality work kind hearted respectable in every thing I seen.
I love that generation of Aussies now in there 70's and up but I can't say the same for my generation and even less for the younger ones now as they are just hopeless selfish good for nothing brats mainly that are just so full of themselves and our new age PC Nazi's I hate them full on.

Getting back to the original topic, I fail to see how JC could be held to blame.

The show is taped, then edited and then I would assume, has to pass the producers/lawyers scrutiny before going to air.

Sounds like a bit of a beat up. A little controversy usually helps ratings

PC correct crap.....
Cant say this or it offends people...

I read somewhere that it delayed the remake of the Dambusters because of the dogs name in the original film (the black dog)....

Don't watch as it may offend some Afro-Americans

Sadly this has happened many times before. Distorting historical facts to apease minorities.

I was also wondering if the american president is black or white? He is always referred to as black, but his mother is white. And no one ever mentions this?

Obviously he's Beige

They need to bring back the cane at school, except use it on the parents not the kids.

I reckon I was one of the last to get the cane at school..

I must be the only motoring enthusiast who has no interest in Top Gear. I think it started well (muck like 5th gear)
Clarkson is an over paid chump who makes me cringe every time I see his teeth.

Couldn't agree more
Large parts of the show are staged and obvious. The format is getting very tired.
Get rid of Clarkson and the show would improve dramatically.
May is the best and most genuine presenter.

But in reality, Top Gear is not a motoring show, its a self indulgent entertainment show based on motoring
You don't watch Top Gear to learn about cars, you watch Top Gear to laugh

Now everyone has different tastes, and Clarkson doesn't appeal to everyone, but obviously appeals to enough people to justify the BBC to pay him such a huge salary

They are just pommy sods being idiots and that what people like about the show as nothing is serious at all.
It's all just joking and caring on like a fruit cake.
Typical pommy show.

Now if the French tried to make a car show ?

Now if the Germans tried to make a car show they would not be like that at all.

The Aussies tryed to take it on and it was just rubbish.

[GasoLane]

I've often thought that Top Gear and Motoring fraternity can be compared to James Bond (Sean Connery era) and MI6.

Neither take themselves seriously and both think it's a bit of a joke.

[T-Pak Addict]

I like the US Top Gear as they don't try and copy the UK one as such....
3 Guys having a ball.....

The Australian one was just like (or tried to be) the UK version...
As a result it just failed
