Top Gear made racist comments against my people.

Uuuh, wot? How the hell does that work?

Also, yeah, you could call as racist. That's fine, we do it ourselves too. Go any immigration forum that allows both sides to same conversation and enjoy one side calling other "racist white supremacist" and other one claiming "immigrants steal our work and women".

I still fail see how a fucking single joke could be so bad. If this was the case, Finland should be issuing apologies left and right but I don't see that many countries demanding so.

Yeah, but no cares about Finland, they are the special child of the European sand box.

it's not a single joke, it's a series of godawful jokes playing to every lazy stereotype. They even called the ambassador to the UK too lazy to file a complaint.

"I still fail see how a fucking single joke could be so bad"

Well, of all the actual racism Mexicans see, it's not SO BAD, it's just stupid. But then again, they target the ambassador, so they asked for it.

Then France is a superpower.

RACIST (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Oh, and technically France and United Kingdom are super powers. Anyone saying that Russia isn't is also claiming that China isn't.

That's exactly what I'm claiming. The US is the sole superpower, a hyperpower.

People keep saying this; multiple people in this thread, even. And yet I've yet to see any evidence that anybody does this.

Take the statements out of context, assume you don't watch the show, you know nothing of the presenters' style. It's not hard to see why somebody might find this insulting. A bit of empathy wouldn't go amiss.

I'm locking the thread. We have learned nothing.
