just to set the record straight it was ferdinand who tweeted cole was a "choc ice", he was fined £45k by the fa.

pfft, potato/ potatoe.

The only racist character of the insult was the suggestion that it is bad to be like a white person inside.

and that's all right is it cos it was an insult about being white?

And which part of the UK did you visit in order to establish what is a representative ethnic mix?

Indeed! My secondary school, of 900 people, had a Chinese chap, a guy from Japan, and a bloke of Nigerian descent. Everyone else was white.

So, Top Gear guests are actually far more enthnically diverse than a state school in 1990s Surrey.

What if STW was a TV show?
What would the audience look like?

I think it was ...

"What tyres for pretending, someone I don't like, is racist?"

He does a fairly good impression this that negates any need my need to pretend.
As far as I can tell we only seem to be discussing how often he does it as to when this means he is a racist. no one is denying he makes racist comments on a regular basis...mainly because he does.
How about

What tyres for deny the blindingly obvious fact staring me in the face that I dont want to accept 😈

I haven't read the whole thread, so we've probably already done this, but why is Clarkson saying "Catch a mumble mumble by the toe" any worse than all the newspapers writing "Catch a n****r by the toe"?
Everyone knows the missing word, so what's the difference?

That's the irony of threads like this though.
It starts out as just another Top Gear thread, so I ignore it.
By the time it gets to 15 pages, I'm intrigued as to how such a trivial incident can spark a 15 page debate, while at the same time, I only have a casual interest, so I'm not dedicated enough to read 15 pages of debate about such a trivial incident.

Just a brief summary would do.
Did anyone flounce or get banned?

These threads aren't for the fainthearted, they require a certain level of dedication. You can't expect those who have put their heart and soul into the debate to simply provide the johnnies-come-lately "a brief summary".

Fair enough, I guess I'm just not cut out to be a Big Hitter.
