It doesn’t help that you’re just saying this here without any proof or reason in most people’s views, making me want to just ignore this comment because I’ve enjoyed things he’s involved in and it doesn’t seem true at face value. You need to provide proof because that is what actually helps.
Its because if you look at the “evidence”, its him mumbling a children’s nursery rhyme (eeny-meeny-miny-moe…) to pick between two cars, and witch-hunters decided to decipher the mumbling as blatant and direct clear racism. Its ducking dumb.
I’ve seen everything the dude has been in for more than twenty years and the worst thing he does is makes fun of French people, an English tradition. He makes fun of English people the same amount.
I invite the author of the comment above asserting blatant racism to share anything that verifies their claims. The best they’ll be able to muster is an opinion piece entitled, “clarkson bad”.
I agree, and if that had been the topic I’d have a few things to say about that. But briefly, those types of episodes were designed to stress, torment, and anger the hosts in exchange for content (reactions).
It worked. In that situation Clarkson admitted wrongdoing, the production staff admitting pushing them too far, Clarkson was terminated, and no fuss was made beyond the described actions by parties involved.
Anything beyond that was just noise and online warriors who wanted it to be larger than it was.
Clarkson did throw that tantrun punching producer Oisin Tymon after food wasn’t provided for him.
After decades of getting shafted by BBC producers for poor pay and scheduling, a man (Clarkson) had a smack at his boss for making him drive in 40° F weather in convertible for two hours, who promised him there would be warm food and catering at the closing destination (the bare minimum that should be provided for such a shoot), who then cancelled the catering service at the last minute because of costs.
I will literally never understand how people can hear about the incident with the producer and side with the BBC.
Wow, during deployments in over 48cI wish I had got warm food instead of an MRE.
Shit, that totally justifies punching everyone in the entire chain of command after I already agreed to go and do the mission. I should have thought of that. Agree to do the work and then just punch people left and right when it sucks!

I mean, I’ve gone without food without hitting people. Would have a lot more sympathy for hypoglycemia…
But he’s not diabetic, although he did start taking that Ozempic appetite suppressor.
