Top Gear Under Review for Racial Slurs...

[xxx000]

People choosing to get worked up over a non existent issue.
And many still don't get that fact, incredible!

[Blue Roo]

Is that really such a bad thing? Maybe our local media should be more positive about local products (mainly Falcon, they seem to think anything Holden spews out is the best).

All these anti discrimination laws are dividing australian culture and not encouraging engagement for fear of offending one another. This may not happen everywhere but it is happening. Banning Jeremy Clarkson is censorship.Not constructive.

I think that's just human nature dude, everyone groups up into their own who they are comfortable with.

Had the same thing at work, foreigners on their own table together.

To be fair I'd take an Aston Martin over an Australian car any day of the week. Its just depressing that the show is becoming more and more staged, yet they aren't exactly making it a secret anymore its blatantly stupid at times.

Put the shoe on the other foot then,if racism/racist remarks are deemed to be ok by you guys lets make it ok on this forum... it would only be some light hearted fun...
I dont like being called a white **** why should it be acceptable anywhere?

[Dash_XR]

It's the line that's in question, not the act itself.

white **** doesn't offend me at all for the record. Copped "Pale ale" today, it was paid.

Btw that was from a mate I usually refer to as a "bloody cabbie" or "crazy curry". It's the tone and context that makes it racist not so much the words.

Referred to as white what?!?! Damn this censoring!!! Oh and Pale Ale is definitely payable. I had quite the chuckle reading that....My close mate is Aussie as they come, just unfortunate his last name is Hoy and he works in construction.

Basically saying in my phone I have him under Dim Sum.

[STINKY NINJA]

Come to think of it,racism is only an issue if you are white and making comments,the other way round is deemed to be acceptable by todays public,which ***** me to tears!
really its just unacceptable full stop,which spins me out about this thread..
Fully double standards!
I suppose im deemed uncool because im not racist then?

I assume it's the C bomb, I just cut and paste haha. My response would be "is that it? you're not even trying.."

I guess its how you define it, just because I call my friend something based on his colour or sex etc etc, its not that I actually think that! Its a fine line I must agree, but I wouldn't walk up to a black guy and go 'you damn nigga'.

Its light hearted joshing with the friends, basic rule in my group, you give it you better be able to take it or shut the hell up.

Would you still call that racism? Friends Joking around and insulting each other on merits of religon, colour etc etc?

[BHDOGS]

theres nothing wrong with being racist theres nothing wrong with be crazy, gay or an ******** its only an issue when you force it apon others or throw it in there face.

[2011G6E]

Oh come on...don;t you all know that only white people can be racist, the same way that only men can be sexist...?

KIDS AREN'T RACIST!! They don't even know the meaning half the time, the only time you have a racist child is if the parents are highly racist and even then if you ask them 'why do you hate the blacks' they don't know, only the grain fed bullshit their one chromosome parents feed them.

Hell one of my closest mates is Black I lived in the heart of Melbourne and went to city schools, you have every race under the sun there! I even tell him to go back to his cotton fields when hes being a pain in the ***....and you know what? He likes to point out how hes better at dancing, running, has a bigger dick and god knows what else because hes black but yet we don't care we are mates and its only joshing around at the end of the day.

I'll never understand Racism of purely hating a race based on their colour.

Based on colour, one would have to be a total moron. but that's what we are being tolled it's about by the PC idiots that it is in fact just that.
So anyone who supports PC must be a total moron in my book.

Never a truer word written.

[cram_it_frog]

Any one see the Saturdays episode of Top Gear where the team are at a race track in Knock Hill Scotland ,

The have a race with the stig who buys a kit car in London and drives it to knock Hill race track and the team clarkson and team have to build a car at the track

The race is to see who is quicker buying a car ready made or making one at the track

And yes it was rigged the stig get ,s arrested by the police in Scotland

I think so much of this is set up a act for the public but like Frank Spencer no one could be that stupid , I know a few who do come close to it though

[tut0r]

Still watching them trying to put that Caterham together was a laugh, its really putting three different personalities in a situation where they have to work as a team and watching the mayhem. Set up or not I still get enjoyment out of it, probably one of the few car shows I feel that isn't influenced to spew **** about what cars they like or not.

One of my good friends is from Eritrea from North East Africa, and when he meets people the first thing he says is "Don't worry brother I'm not Sudanese" because people were stereotyping him as a Sudanese person because of his skin colour, then when he goes back home they stereotype him as a non-African because of his facial features

Guy can't win

Kids aren't racist I don't know about that.
I was attacked the first day at a new school because I was white and I never even had a chance even to talk to anyone before they started on me.
Maybe it was because I had a school uniform on but they called me a white so and so all my school days and had to fight the morons all the time, they were something like the mafia and also protected by the state just like the mafia.

Thief was there main game in our little town and they would tell me about who they stole from every week, the poor people who owned shops coped it bad and the cops were totally useless when it came to that lot as they just did not want to know anything as they feared because the law was on there side, it was like taking on a million air's kid, as they had so much back up from the government lawyers, to attack the police, so the cops just left them alone unless they really had to deal with them and then fearing that they may get fined for some racial point a lawyer could hang on them.

The towns to the south and north of us were much better in that regard, I would say to people from the other towns, come on down to our town some night, and the response was always, no way! and I would say, that's right I forgot about that. most people don't like getting attacked by a mob, but I could fight and was just use to it.

Then I came to SE Queensland and not one person has ever tried to pick me for a fight hear, it's wonderful my brother and I can't believe it's so good to live hear.

But that was all back in the 70's & 80's that little town is nothing like it once was at all now.
Some people complain about the you know who hear, but they don't have a clue what bad is at all.

Studies over the years have concluded children are not born racist, they in fact pick it up from adults or peers and can be infected/indoctrinated at a very early age.

Children from the moment they gain awareness start to learn from those around them and if they are in an environment where the adults or their peers are talking in racist terms then they will quickly follow suit.

There is also the opposite side of the coin where Mum and Dad teach their children tolerance and equality.
