He's an ass. I've still never forgiven them for their Mexico special

Never watched specifically because he gave me douchebag vibes from the start, what was so bad about the Mexico special?

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Severe racism including calling Mexicans

"lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf(s)", and described in detail how horrible it must be to be [wake] up and [remember] you're Mexican"

Straight from their own Fandom wiki https://topgear.fandom.com/wiki/Mexican_Comments_Controversy
