"I can tell you from my own experience, living in the US, Mexicans work themselves to the bone doing all the dirty thankless jobs that the white middle-class natives won't do."
- Steve Coogan puts the boot into Top Gear for that oddly harsh and random slagging off of Mexicans. (I will also pay the comment "He's not even a real hamster.") There may not be many Mexicans in the UK, lads, but millions of Americans watch you. So please don't. Especially not you, Rich. Don't spoil my dirty thoughts involving those jeans and the bonnet of your Porsche 911 by reminding me that IRL I'd probably be inching away from you as from the drunk at a barbie.

ETA: Hammond via his Web site: "Look, I was talking about the cartoon characters in western movies we all watched as kids and I am really sorry if I've offended anyone. Yes, we were stereotyping on Top Gear and yes, that can go wrong - as it rather has - but it can also be quite funny and that's what we were hoping to do."

You and your jeans are excused, mate. Now stick to taking the piss out of folks like the Germans and Australians: nations made up mostly of white people on a comparable social and economic footing to yourselves. That is funny - especially when they've got the chance to give some of their own back, Nigel.

...You fantasize about Richard washing his dirty car with his jeans?

*whimpers*

Is he wearing anything else?
