But usually he hates most of them, complains about the Mexican embassy for it.engineers, mocks the factory worker, and makes offensive comments about the entire population of the manufacturers country. Especially when he's on a test drive in that country. But no country is safe and even England gets the same treatment.

notes on controversy...

Added DiffLines:

A number of people have called themselves equal-opportunity offenders when defending themselves from accusations of bias, bigotry, etc, and have had varying degrees of success. The less successful ones have helped make the phrase a tad controversial, if only by association.

In addition, it has been argued that if different groups of people are in unequal situations to begin with, then it's difficult to offend them all "the same". [[hottip:*:An analogy: if you dealt out an "equal" amount of physical pain to every living human, say with a single punch to the gut, then some might feel nothing while others die a DeathOfAThousandCuts thanks to the previous actions of numerous other not-so-equal opportunity hurters — or just from having unluckily poor health.]] Of course, this argument is itself controversial, and has been challenged as misguided, unfair, or patronizing. It's a [[FlameWar heated debate]].

This trope applies when a show doesn't have bias for any side in a given situation. However, it can be used inside the story too, when a character is particulary offensive to everybody.
