I think these guys really crossed the line, i'm not mexican but i was pretty flabergasted when I saw it.

[SportsMushroom]

stfu, the level of political correctness expected by everyone nowadays is absurdm they are just jocking

and are you american? cause the image of mexicans being lazy leaning on walls and having siestas all day was popularized by american cartoons and hollywood movies

having said that i will add the guy is nuts, cheese is the best and that is why i love mexican food, damn now i;m gonna be wanting a chimichanga all night

[blackbeSSt]

If he said that about Jews he would have been fired by now. I guess Mexicans are fair game.

I've lived in California my whole life and have never heard the steryeotype that Mexicans are what these guys say, i'm pretty young though so maybe it's an older steryotype or something? I was pretty suprised that they went that far, maybe I'm being a bit of a Vag though.

[stealthyburrito]

very old stereotype, still kinda funny though. i laugh at all races.

[xraygord]

Not racist in my opinion, bad taste maybe.

Top Gear get around 10,000 complaints every week from various groups.
They take the piss out of everyone, not least themselves.

[VegasInsider]

It's just a stupid video. Slightly stereotypical but it wasn't even funny

[Cougar Bait]

Was that English guys making fun of Mexican food?


Because English food is some of the worst on the planet. Not as bad as their dental care, but right up there.

Top Gear is a great show BBC will keep them on the air as long as they want to stay.

Who were, in turn, inspired by generations of lazy Mexicans taking siestas.

You think Hollywood conquered the world by accident? Give them some goddam credit.

Fuk no or how about some spotted dick or some toad in the hole? Honestly

I'll see your stereotype and raise you two?

has a Latino I wasn't offended... Everybody knows Mexican are the least lazy people in the world right now... The Jesus stereotype is true... And mexicans have way better looking people than those Crooked teeth hicks!!!

[Dad]

This is not racist, it's comedy, although not very good comedy. Mexican comedians make a career out of making fun of Mexicans, I see no difference here.

I'm not goint to argue with you, Mr. Mayan.

The laziest people in the world are doing the thoughets jobs in the U.S.

Without Mexican workers, a couple of business would go broke in no time.

Just to name a few:

Farms.
Construction.
Restaurants.
Manufacturing.

In a word, the US economy has a great need of these "lazy people".

I was thinking more beans on toast myself.

Really? I'm in my twenties and I've lived in California my entire life and I consider it to be a pretty common stereotype. In the 80's and early 90's it seemed more common to see a Mexican guy in cartoons napping next to a cactus with a bottle of tequila and big sombrero. I never see that kind of imagery anymore these days because everything is so politically correct that anything at all involving ethnicity or stereotypes will get you blacklisted in Hollywood.

I thought the clip was funny, but that guy's crazy if he thinks Mexican food isn't delicious.

(Here's a clip of the type of cartoons I was referring to. If you don't laugh at a single one of these then you need to lighten up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXjWNgY5xDw )

[Dad]

Haha Speedy Gonzalez cartoons are some of the best ever.

[Vaughany]

Im English and I find Top Gear to be the most pretentious bullshit on TV. Obviously in that clip they are not being serious, Hammond doesn't hate Mexicans! The problem is that it's such easy, obvious and low-brow comedy, how many times is the sterotype of Mexican's being lazy, eating burritos, etc... gonna be used and exaggerated! I find it funny that Mexicans can be took the piss out with out any controversy yet if it they had referred to a black person it would of been outrage...imagine if the car was made in Nigeria, and they'd said "Why would u want a car from Nigeria, the interior would be covered in KFC stains" there would be absolute outrage! If you're a funny comedian u can pull it off but when ur just a pompous tw*t like Hammond or Clarkson then it just isnt funny. I hope a massive shit storm brews from this just so tht they get booted off the screen, nothing worse then listening to a load of car obsessives going through a mid-life crisis!

What do the english know? The have a monarchy just for show. Only girly men/pussies believe in f\*g i mean fairy tales.

BBC apologizes to mexico over the comments

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-12361790


well in all fareness, although they were trying to be funny they failed misserably, maybe they should take some improv classes

maybe it could've went something like this:

a mexican car? do you get a bag of coke and a free lawn mow with every car purchase?
