Jeremy Clarkson accused of 'racism' during Top Gear series finale in Thailand

[H1w4yR1da]

You know what would be purely poetic - if the 'slope' on the bridge approached Sir Jeremy and offered him a sandwich.

Then, BAM, popped him in the jaw. Dreadfully sorry love, a 'knuckle sandwich' that is. Only playing love, no reason to get irritated or get all PC on your high horse.

Fade to black...

Well if the 'slope' was Thai, wouldn't he need five tooled-up mates to help him?

Seven and a half as he had Hammond with him.

Here's a checklist......it's far from complete but try applying it to Clarkson....and some of the posts on this thread - sound familiar?

See if your are a racist. these are terms commonly used by racists..

Do these sound familiar?

If you can tick any of these, you probably are too.

• Ive got nothing against them.but..
• They come over here.
• Did you hear the one about?.
• coloureds
• racialist
• PC gone mad
• Dysfunctional race
• Some of them are racist too!
• Its in their culture
• Racism is natural

Okay, let's try this!

See if your (it's 'you're, dumbass!) are a racist. These are terms commonly used by racists.

1. This is a Muslim area.

2. If you're a Paki and you know it clap your hands. - (sung by (English!) Pakistani cricket supporters at the Oval.)

3. Sharia for the UK!

4. White c**t!

5. Behead those who insult Islam.

6. Cover your faces.

7. Don't drink alcohol in a Muslim area.

8. Don't hold hands in a Muslim area.

9. Is it because I is black?

10. Racist!

Seriously, I think the world could use a few more smug pr1cks. Why is western society so embarrassed by itself?

Has it not created the best standard of living, freedom, and liberty in the history of man, are we so terrible? Isn't any cultural observation funny anymore?

I think non westerners must assume we have some mental health issues. They have no problem making a joke.

The word 'slope' is a cultural observation?

You really shouldn't be allowed to post any more until you've gone away, had a stern talking to from somebody who actually HAS a conscience, and read a book about the slave trade, a book about the British Empire, and a book about the civil rights movement. Personally I think you shouldn't be allowed to speak until you've done that, but that would be harder to regulate.

How surprised am I to hear a member of the word police would like to ban me from having an opinion? (rhetorical)

The word slope is a racist term which has essentially faded from use since the end of hostilities from the last Asian American war. Nobody uses this word, especially on the BBC. which is why what Jeremy did was funny. His joke was a poke at PC culture, not an attempt to hurt and oppress. The shock value of the joke was obvious - you just can't say that. But the humor of the joke was in the predictable and delicious response of the self righteous PC Chihuahuas yapping around in a circle and peeing puddles on their floor because someone had the balls to speak a forbidden word. That is the cultural observation in play here.

Shame Jeremy, shame on you naughty boy.

I think what I lot of people dont understand about JC, is that he does what he does purposely get up the noses of the "Mary Whiteshouses" of the UK and beyond, Some one may ask why the BBC let him get away with it, for the most part ?.....one is obviously the ratings/financial side of things, but if one looks at the relationship over the years between the BBC and the real Mary Whitehouse, yes, she who tried to get Chuck Berries "my ding a-ling" banned in the UK one can understand why the BBC let JC be a "naughty boy" on national televison now and again

Top Gear has become one of the BBC biggest most popular "exports" and JC has been pulling stunts like this for years, so if he was "offensive" to large numbers of people, how has Top Gear become so popular ?

As "Canuckamuck" has said JC is taking pot shots at the PC culture and taking the p*ss out them

Exactly. Nicely put.

[laobali]

^^ Taking the p*ss or not? That's the clever bit and JC and the BBC know it. It could never be proved that the words spoken were used in any other way than Hammond affirmed – other than someone involved actually admitting it. People have interpreted them the way they want to, in some cases to promote a personal agenda.

I call her "monkey feet" a lot does that count ? am I know an animalist as well...?

But interesting you should mention this, My Mrs actually loves Top Gear, granted she may not get some of the references because they are uniquely from the UK, but she thought the comment about the lorry drivers very funny when I explained the context, she also thought the US episodes with the red necks was funny, as was the "Burka" comment...

But I will be sure to tell her, that TV's finest mother grundies believe she is a racist pig because she finds Top Gear funny...oh I forgot she cant be a racist cos she is Thai, only white people can be called racists

You just don't get it, do you? No one called anyone anything, Nothing to apologise for.

I think the point is that suggesting racism toward X by some of Y is fine because some of X are racist too is a bit of a misdirection - both instances are wrong, both perpetuate intolerance.

The use of another's racist views as justification for racism is akin to someone claiming it is ok to burgle houses, since they once got burgled.

So you wouldn't call YOUR wife a slope, but it,s OK to point to someone else and say "there's a slope". I think you're running out of ideas here.

Please sir, can I be a selective xenophobe instead?

[Rooney860]

What about Clarkeson and Chuwit as a double act, JC can insult them, and if they don't like it Chuwit can hit them, what a great show it would be!!

He was pointing at and remarking on the bridge's slope. You're assuming something else as it fits your agenda.

Yeah, and I bet you anything if we keep on coaxing the fire, this has the chance of becoming 1000+ pages. Such is the fervor of the offended. Unless of course they suffer a stroke due to high blood pressure before that.

You might want to check out some history and find out when nonwhites actually managed to oppress and exploit the populations of 3 continents and created a pseudoscientific doctrine of racial hierarchy to support their activities ...... To save you some time.....it never happened.

Genghis did quite well, but apparently he was a bit short of boats and couldn't make that upwards slope towards conquering other continents. I'm quite sure he'd have placed the Mongols on the top of the food chain, the PC opponents were most probably placed on a place of honor, namely on sticks near the entrance to his abode.

"Coaxing the fire" that would be inflammatory, right?

No, inflammation happens in the beginning, coaxing is what you do to embers.

Ok ok, Genghis was a benevolent man of peace, who just happened to conquer a tiny bit of land. I'm sure he was a well mannered, apologetic gentleman who would never have dared to offend any one.

As I expected, the pissing brigade is here & this topic is now off-topic. Their isn't a human being living on the planet today who knows real history. Only those who experienced it and have already past....
