Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson accused of uttering racial slur on film
http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/02/world/...on-racism-row/
As a fan of the show I'm interested in what the BBC does here. He's basically the face of Top Gear and I can't imagine the show without him. Even Prime Minister David ******* has made a statement about it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/poli...ite-wrong.html |

Should he have said it? No. But I think people are too sensitive about this stuff nowadays.

Just sayin'.

There's a double standard it seems, and a sad commentary on political correctness.

I agree with all this, it's way blown out of proportion and people are WAY too sensitive these days. People cry and moan about every little thing. Sad really

I remember in the last Top Gear special he said something that everyone found racist towards Asians but it died off after a few days.

Forgiven. Its not targeting or trying to be offensive. Just some humor that was blown out of proportion. If we can put up with rappers saying it all the time, why can't we put up with it on TV? I'll tell you what though if he does get fired I will be very sad to see him leave over this.
