Top Gear Mexico controvsery: Dave Gorman's opinion

[Holden599GTB]

Everyone thinks americans are just fat lazy slobs, idiots, good for nothing? May be true among some of us, just like some mexicans may be flatulent and lazy. Chill out its just a joke, who cares.

[J0k3r4U]

@Holden599GTB If it was JUST that, it'd be ok but the way they did it, dude! did you actually see it? It was downright DISPICABLE cause you KNOW they'd NEVER say thatabout blacks!

They'd quicker whizz in their little panties, and you knwo it's true.

[Holden599GTB]

@J0k3r4U I would have taken your statement seriously if you didnt put whizz in their pants and CAPSIZE every other word. Im in college i know how to put emphasis on words. plus i saw it a million times i love top gear! But u gotta thing black is an race not an ethnicity.

[J0k3r4U]

@Holden599GTB You're kidding, right? You are kidding, right?

[Holden599GTB]

@J0k3r4U NO. NO. 

[CarsMutley1995]

Do celebrities not understand fucking JOKES ?!?!?

[purefhate]

@boedernative

Hey man Mr. Bean is fucking awesome dude

I'm a Mexican but just because those fuckers made negative comments about the Mastretta MXT and Mexicans that doesnt mean all English people are like that.

My question is how can they judge a car without even testing it???

Or do they envi Mexico for building a car before they did?

[dipstick3031]

@purefhate It was a joke. They probably didn't get a car from the factory to test it.. Hell if it was me I also wouldn't give one to Top Gear.. They'll destroi it.. Don't put yourself in a victim role.. You mexicans must be stronger than that I hope??

[J0k3r4U]

@purefhate They like to look down on Mexico.

[KryzMasta]

Only the last comment this guy made really made sense: I think this is just comedy, clealry it was a stereotype overinflated for comedic purposes. That's how a lot of comedy works. But it was a lazy joke, that's for sure.

[Boedernative]

Imagine waking up as a Mexican? Why say that we are inferior to you? We are lazy, maybe, but you prove to be ignorant in history as Steve Coogan, read a little to understand the greatness of the Maya and Aztecs on. Too bad that all countries in the Americas are under the domination of imperialist and racist countries with megalomaniacal rulers as it was Bush and Hitler. By the way, greetings to your super hero Mr. Bean ...

Us Brits have so much more than u lazy bastard mexicans who spend all day getting pissed off about your puerile slaving lives

[ghschopper]

@inconspicuous96

Dude shut the hell up u have no idea what goes on in the world because us Mexicans are hard ass workers, so why don't u keep your lazy tea drinking ass on your side of the ocean where it belongs.

[charlyoboi]

@inconspicuous96 haha...hey...its called high school..go to it! You'll be amazed at what you learn

[dxlly]

...y si nos pintan como unos wevones, no lo somos

VIVA MEXICO CABRONES!!!!!!!!

[OriginalOrigins]

i mean how many american redneck jokes have they made i mean come on, they said 2 fat guys named bill and bob made the corvette zr1, and that you have to be into your sister to own a roush mustang, i'm not white but i am american and even though i love mustangs and corvettes i thought it was funny just like the imagery of a car leaning up against a cactus asleep, the only reason why someone would get bent out of shape is if they really believed that what they said was true

[OriginalOrigins]

the reason why it was funny is because it was an over the top classic looney toons stereotype of a mexican asleep by a cactus in all honesty the only funny part was the part about the ambassador being asleep

[homeroarchundia1]

England sucks.

[trucho4ever1]

i dont see why mexicans are pist bout a joke. its just a fucking joke! Arent yall suppose to be MACHOS, take it like a man.

[defrancotv]

@trucho4ever1 macho men dont fuck around.. so they are not gonna take it like a "man"

[ArkiveX]

@retrochannel1 sorry to break it to you but Americans take the piss out of you even more. Apparently you're a bunch of border hopping, bullfighting bunch of alien fucks that shout "¡arriba!" all day. And I'll just point out; who do you think the Top Gear presenters got their jokes from? American opinion. Don't cry about the UK, grow some balls and keep quiet

[retrochannel1]

It must be so fucken horrible to wake up in the morning and realize you are nothing but a mere british islander. I would jump off the london bridge and drown myself. I thank God one million times i am of Mexican descent. Here in the USA, the latest Census numbers show Latinos are 50 million+ strong and growing fast. Out of those, about 35 million ALONE are Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants. The Mexicanization of America is full speed ahead! No more America to the rescue you dirty Brits!!!

[chezdez102]

@retrochannel1 Thank fuck the Americans are going to be wiped out by you and your crappy re-fryed sick.

Oh and your calling the brits dirty? Wake up dude youve got more grease on you than a fucking pizza.

Bean lover.

[jonnyt86]

@retrochannel1 Mexico is one poor shit ass country, far more dirtier than Britain. Your people moved to the US and sponged off them because that's all your really good for, pro-creating and receiving aid. You have no right to criticise any country fuck wad, you dirty fucking abomination!

[1ElChapoGuzman3]

@jonnyt86 you fucking ugly ass brit, at least Mexicans have a full row of healthy white teeth unlike you! fucking pale ass brits. Brits where considered inhuman and barbarians by the Italians during the Renaissance, when Mexico was far more beautiful than anything Europe had to offer, Tenochtitlan was by far more beautiful than any european city before you euro rats brought diseases over. Your kings were rotting from not bathing while ours bathed in jacuzzis daily!

[jonnyt86]

@1ElChapoGuzman3 a) Mexicans have brown or no teeth b) Italians? What? You're Mexican you retard c) who gives a fuck about Tenoshit whatever d) If Mexico is so great and beautiful why is it a shit hole? (I've been and I know it's shit, have you ever been to the MEDC England?) d) That language you're speaking is ENGLISH and we speak it properly and much better than you. e) Where are your jacuzzi's now? f) Progressing country? HA! g) Hit a nerve did I bean lover? Fuck off you third world reprobate

[jonnyt86]

@1ElChapoGuzman3 And if you had any respect you would give thanks to the US for helping your people. All this "Mexicans are taking over the US" shit just proves how inconsiderate, disrespectful and quite frankly dumb you are. Also hate to break the news to you but most English people DO have tans and white teeth, where have you been getting your info? A particular 1980's US series that premiered on your TV last night?

[1ElChapoGuzman3]

@jonn I've been getting my info from the same place you and those yellow teeth having british get theirs about Mexico.The nazis were gonna take over you pale british idiots, Mexico and the US had to come to the rescue with Escuadron 201. I mentioned Italians so I could let you know what you are, just a bunch of barbarians, have fun when the Arabs take over your country. Mexico is among the top 10 best world economies idiot. The only thing is that its next to a world power. VIVA MEXICO! FUCK U

[jonnyt86]

@1ElChapoGuzman3 Wow take you a whole week to think of that lame comeback? I have no intention of verbally panning you any further. I don't enjoy arguing with people of an I.Q less than 90, they're too dumb to know when they've lost an argument, like you taco bender! VIVA YOUR MOMMA!

[1ElChapoGuzman3]

@jonnyt86 took me a week because I dont live for youtube, you tea baggin homo! I dont think a person with a 90 IQ school your ass about history like I did, VIVA MEXICO! A la verga con todos los demas!

[Weetabix87]

@1ElChapoGuzman3 heh, you're awesome :)

[1ElChapoGuzman3]

@jonnyt86 And Mexico is a progressing country you fuck tard. As a matter of fact shut your mouth pale ass tea bagger before an arab takes over your country, all brits are pale, yellow teeth weird accent having motherfuckas, you gollum from lord of the rings looking bitches! And another thing those Mexicans living in the USA are doing way better than any british maggot.

[olg06]

BBC stands for Big Black Cock

LOL

[TAMBOREBRIO]

Mexico is the 1 st childhood obesity place and 2nd in adults obesty place in the world , Mexico gets one of the last places in rank of productivity in latinamerica, .... so instead of wait for an apologize we should work in the bad name of the contry

[cracksonfloor]

@TAMBOREBRIO I just read the new Forbes: Richest people in the world list to find that Mexican born Carlos Slim Helu has once again come in at #1 with an increase of $20.5 billion for a total of a $74 billion fortune. Add to this the fact that the currently crowned Miss Universe, Ximena Navarrete, the supposed most beautiful woman in the world is also a Mexican native, and it seems like Mexico is in pretty darn good standing!"

[GIMGIMG]

@cracksonfloor Investigate how Carlos Slim gets his money... Im mexican and we are not proud of it =/

[paliniba]

Yo me avente un tiro con un puto ingles en un bar de polanco, me canto un tiro porque se creia muy cabron ,me pelo la verga no mas le tire dos dientes al putito a puro putazo tiro legal con eso le basto para llorar y al chile les digo que nos vale verga lo que digan y la neta soy vato trankilo pero asi como despierten la ira al pueblo y se cagan del miedo recuerden su intento de 2o imperio en mexico no se hagan pendejos

[1ElChapoGuzman3]

@paliniba ni dientes tienen esos pinches ingleses jotos, los tienen todos picados y amarillos, deseguro le hiciste un favor a ese perro.

[WillShakespeare2007]

I totally agree that this was pure racism.

[DonMisap2]

@crazyboyxx while Mexico lacks of those resources.

[DonMisap2]

@crazyboyxx and yes we are super rich Carlos Slim is the richest man in planet and one of the 13 billionaires in Mexico the 9th country with the most billionaires men do some research before talking in Mexico we say Dog that barks dont bite. Another thing no country is as retarded as americans mexicos education system works better than the american one our academic level is way better in Mexico than the US even though they have all the materials needed to be as smart as Japanese.

[Ethan314159]

@DonMisap2 Your comments are laughable. The only reason he is the richest man in the world is because he has a monopoly on Mexican Telecommunications and strong-arms the government. The rest are notorious drug lords. The vast majority of Mexico lives in horrid conditions. It's sad, but true. If America was so "retarded", and the education was superior in Mexico, there wouldn't be a consistent flow of immigrants from Mexico to the US.

[DonMisap2]

@Ethan314159 a lot of what you said is true yes he is rich because of his monopolies an d the rest are not drug lords there is 9 or 10 billionaires 2 of gain their money from media Televisa and TV Azteca the biggest tv networks in the spanish speaking world. another one is the cement company comex( the second biggest cement company in the world)owner.

[DonMisap2]

@Ethan314159 the cemex company owner. no not the vast majority only 15 % of the population live in modarate poverty and 15% of the pupolation in strong poverty remember Mexico does not have extreme or hunger poverty you can live and eat in Mexico good is just that we are stuck right there and not getting more or less. as i said Mexicans go to the United States because we want to progress and in Mexico is very hard for a poor Mexican to progress the way they want.

[DonMisap2]

believe we Mexicans dont go to the US for education in Mexico is cheaper and at the same level of highly developed countries. imagine the richest country in the world right next to 11th richest country in the world(Mexico) it is obvious that any country next to a super power in these case the biggest world super power will see their people immigrating to the richest country, imagine you have china, india or Brazil next door then you will really have immigration problems.

[1ElChapoGuzman3]

@DonMisap2 Saludos Carnal, Look at all of these haters, you come at them with truth and they dont want to believe it. They hate that Mexicans are on a rise, but soon enough they will have to realize that Mexicans are their papis. VIVA MEXICO CABRONES!!

[DonMisap2]

remember that china and india have a population over 1 billion their GDP per capita is 2,000 and Mexico's is about 15,000 they might be larger economies but in human developement Mexico is a developed country compared to those. brazil has a pop. that doubles Mexico's and their poverty is over 50%

[DonMisap2]

@Ethan314159 another from last year to these there has been very few mexicans going to the US actually they are comming back to Mexico, the Mexican economy is growing 5% every year so in a few years all Mexicans will come back from the US there is no need to stay in the US beacause honestly we just go for the money not because is a country we like or love if there is gonna be money in Mexico bye bye hard workers from the US they are going back to Mexico that will probably couse a economy

[DonMisap2]

@Ethan314159 it will propably cause an economy fall in the US and since Mexico is very globalisized country we dont depend on The US economy as we used to so we wont care that much as i ve always been saying treat Mexicans well cause in the future your sons or grandsons will depend on Mexico mighty JUSTICE thats what it is plus we just created an Space Agency and we had a 10% growth in GDP nominal only on 2010.

[DonMisap2]

@crazyboyxx Mexico has only been in war for 5 years what aare you talking about? i have no children and i get eat whatever i want just like in Mexico we might have poverty problems but not food problems. for my pleasure to say this even is no good at all, YES MEXICAN DONT AFFORD FEEDING BECAUSE IS THE SECOND COUNTRY WITH THE MOST FAT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD dont be ignorant if Mexicans go to the govt they sure will give them food like if we were a 3rd world country.

[DonMisap2]

@crazyboyxx i amjust gonna ignored this one. ignorance is paid back with ignorance.

[neighbor57]

I agree with this guy Dave Gorman. That was lazy of top gear and irresponsible. But I also think this should remain in the past and every one already knows its wrong.

[Nicky02468]

@neighbor57 It wasn't irresponsible. It's not racism to mock using an outdated stereotype. What the Top Gear guys said about Mexico was fucking hilarious and thats an end to it.

[neighbor57]

@Nicky02468 That was not hilarious or funny or anything. Who honestly laughed at this? I still like top gear but that was not funny.

[Nicky02468]

@neighbor57 I did, and I know everyone of my friends who watched it found it just as funny.

[neighbor57]

@Nicky02468 Well then I quess you and your friends are total idiots.

[akkiller15]

go back to skool and learn something u fag and just one more thing go to mexico and get ur stupid ass shoot

[stratocasterbeast]

Mexican isn't a race its a country. you could be a white Mexican. DUHHH!!!

[JonnysMADps]

lolololololol lolol lol .... lol take a bloody joke, everyone knows mexico is famous for being lazy

[iiimusika]

they lokk soo gayyyyyy faucking faggot british

jack  the ripper fuck them hehehe

[iiimusika]

englend land of gays and whores haha tehyare the 51th starin the yanqui flag hahahah

[fatfingers43]

every one in the wold knows mexico is a shit hole

[Oblivion2099]

@fatfingers43 Hahahaha, you're obviously a dumbass. Misantrophy exists because of people like you, go and check the dictionary if you did not understand (i am 98% sure you didn't).

[fatfingers43]

@Oblivion2099 I know what it means an the only reason i feel this way is you ppl made me by sucking the blood out of my country

[Oblivion2099]

@fatfingers43 You people? you keep your burgers. Your country is top notch in some aspects, but anyone with a little intelligence could tell Mexico's cultural richness beats the crap out of yours anyday, so calling it a shit hole just because of your ignorant stereotype is bullshit.

[fatfingers43]

@Oblivion2099 Ive been to mexico trust me its a dirty shit hole

[Oblivion2099]

@fatfingers43 I've been to a lot of shitholes in the US, so...it is the same shit, by the way, if Mexico is a shithole, why do YOU people keep coming to our beaches, but well it is enough, we have one of the 7 wonders of the world, and u call that a shithole, i guess you're very smart.

[DonMisap2]

@fatfingers43 if it was like that why do we have more than 20 millions tourists every year even that we are in a war almost the same as england.

[fatfingers43]

@DonMisap2 no one will go to mexico now 70 murders no thanks i need a tan i just dont want to die for one

[DonMisap2]

@fatfingers43 the north of mexico is influenced by the U.S. so thats whta all the crap comes from leave the south alone Mexicos south have nothing to do with drug war. there hasnt been a single death in the state of Merida related to the war and the govt have all the control in the states of Veracruz and Q. Roo where Cancun is.

the south is theplace that gets those 20 millions of visitors.

[khasab]

steve coogan made that comment 'cos his agent told him to, to get a bit of free publicity.

[killsville1972]

Millions watched the Mexico Top Gear gag, yet only a few complained.

It's not racism - it's just humour. If it is racism, how come BBC have left the gag in the repeats on BBC3?

[d33pS3Ad1v3r]

@killsville1972

you answered your own question.

[majalca03]

@killsville1972 Maybe in England there were few people upset at what was said, but outside of England it was quite shocking. England is not the center of the universe you know? What you say says that there might be something wrong with British society that they view racism in such a casual and acceptable way.

[killsville1972]

@majalca03 Other countries poke fun at the British and do we call those racists? No. It's just stereotyping. The world has gone mad - you can't even have a joke now for fear of upsetting someone. The Top Gear programme was funded with British Licence payers money, including my licence fee. I found the gag perfectly acceptable and funny, just as millions of other British people did.

[charlyoboi]

@killsville1972 oh yeah, british people have bad teeth, are boring, stupid, and tend to build pompenous trash,..just look at jags.....oh wait....its owned by ford...well ok....what about landrover..oh wait thats owned by VW.......racist comments show ignorance and lack of education and general knowledge..... but above it shows lack of education....its not fair if we said that british ppl are racist... the comment was made by 3 unedcuated idtios..

[killsville1972]

@charlyoboi Three uneducated idiots that earn millions! As for the Mexican car industry, well, if they were still building the old VW Beetles 20 years after the germans had moved onto building the golf, it's no much to brag about!

[dipstick3031]

@killsville1972 The joke that Mexicans are lazy comes from (what I think) the fact that they take a long brake or even a nap on the middle of the day just like workers in spain and so on. Isn't it called a siesta?? They do that because its to hot on the middle of the day to work right? But that we converte in to a joke saying they are lazy basterds.. But its a joke... We know they work just as hard or even harder than us.. Hell we would die working in the burning sunn. Lighten up

[crispiegee1]

Another win for political correctness. Have they not heard Top Gear imply that Americans are all fat, stupid, incestuous hillbillies or that the French are stuck up, latte sipping cowards? They even make fun of British people's teeth.

The fact that this so-called comic, who's industry thrives on stereotypes, is being sanctimonious about Top Gear is pathetic. At the end, he even mentions a joke about Japan that is somehow okay because it was a historical reference. What an utter hypocrite!

[namas000]

so why did everyone at top gear were loathing

[trannyniggr]

cpt obvious is..mediawhorish..esque..?

[Death666wish]

does this guy have 350 million viewers world wide? didn't think so... So, he can shove you know what up into you know where..

[samJRulz1]

It's not racism, it's stereotyping you fucking idiot.  Name should be Dave Moron.

[Newevotime1988]

Gorman , you don't watch top gear OBVIOUSLY , you don't see how they mock every country in the world for a laugh, NOT just Mexico ......... SO hop off the band wagon yeah !

[DonMisap2]

@Newevotime1988 yeah but this time they passed over line.

[Newevotime1988]

@DonMisap2 what you say makes me think of cotton wool ........

I don't complain or moan when another country mocks our cuisine , i don't cry when another country says "fuck the british queen" , i don't call an ambassador when someone on a t.v show says (jokes about) something to do with my country , the FUNNIEST thing is that we mocked the Australians to their faces and GUESS what they did ........ they laughed about it !

[IHVHandmind]

@Newevotime1988 - The reason this is unacceptable stems from the parallel context of race and history. You can also factor in recent attitudes about immigration here in the u.s.a - the jokes may have been all in good humor, unfortunately they didn't land quite so well therein. -- Now me being hispanic with parents 1 from mexico and another from el salvador, having grown up in a mostly white american christian town - the things said were abbrasive to several experiences I've had as a child.

[Newevotime1988]

@IHVHandmind LMFAO i think it's time to let go of those childhood feelings and uhmmmm grow the fuck up....

Sticks and stones and all that.....

When other countries make a joke about the british monarchy/car industry/accent/cuisine ,do you hear us crying and calling an ambassador to demand an apology? NOPE

We insulted the Australians motor industry to their faces we made them arrive in a prison wagon to mock the stereotype that all ozzy's are convicts, guess what they did, THEY LAUGHED

[IHVHandmind]

@Newevotime1988 -- Recently my' little brothers "ages 10 and 13" have expressed shame in their' heritage because of the messages that are out there about our people. As an adult the presumption that my' feelings and thoughts on the matter could possibly be relegated as inapplicable/irrelevant to my' life in the present - is a paultry inexcusable attempt to evade social responsibility. -- Furthermore, the british and many other largely caucasian-populated countries do not generally sit in the

[IHVHandmind]

@Newevotime1988 cont - same social context as a country like mexico which has a history mired in racism, conquest, pillage, subjugation, political corruption etc...all of which are presently active attributes. - The element of racism could not be denied either. I think maybe you're oblivious to the political climate surrounding issues such as illegal immigration.

[IHVHandmind]

@Newevotime1988 - making fun of a country with a history like the british - I think you should do some research on the monarchy over there, what they own, the genocide they're responsible for, the institutions, agencies, forced sterilizations etc that they fund... You're mistaken if you think I can't "see" the humor in something like top gear's comments - I can... but in all consideration, beyond a degree of superficiality - it isn't funny. The growing sentiment here in the USA isn't either.

[Newevotime1988]

@IHVHandmind awwwwww see you just did exactly what top gear did ..... (you mocked my country, i think im gunna cry) lol

should i call an ambassador and make him make you apologise? nahhhh cos i don't give a shit

So BASICALLY the only reason you took offence is because it was said on a globally watched show.... real mature ........ hop off the band wagon .

[IHVHandmind]

@Newevotime1988 -- There's nothing funny about british history....I wasn't making "fun" of the british - you've missed the point entirely. - How exactly can anyone mock a country like yours in a comparable degree? The british aren't looked down upon as an illegitamate, pestilential, subserivant underclass here in the united states.

[Newevotime1988]

@IHVHandmind We are by many countries

We are the cunts that invaded them (many a year ago) and forced our laws upon them , it is no secret that the older generations of most of europe really dislike the british , but i am glad to say that the youth is starting to change and everyone is getting along more .

[IHVHandmind]

@Newevotime1988 -- You should ask yourself why you wouldn't give a shit if the reverse took place and why vast numbers of mexicans and mexican americans found those comments offensive - do that without hiding behind the cheap presumption that it has to do with having a sense of humor or some "missing appendage" or bone etc... If it were as simple as that - there would be no issue.

[Newevotime1988]

@IHVHandmind Ask myself why i don't give a shit?

hmmmmm cos i really don't care about anyone elses opinion if it is negative (unless it is a MAJOR LIFE threatening issue) ...... whats the point in letting a few words get ya down?

[DonMisap2]

@Newevotime1988 i laugh about it when i watched it but some thing they say wasnt even stereotypes from mexico.

one we are not lazy at all we are the best working class of all times.

second we dont fart as much as Americans do.

[Newevotime1988]

@DonMisap2 And not all English people sit down at 4pm for afternoon tea whilst listening to Bach...But many countries joke about that stereotype.

And England is not a nation that invades other countries any more But many countries Joke about that stereotype also.

Do you see us complaining? nope.

[DonMisap2]

@Newevotime1988 im sorry for my ignorance but i dont know that much of england. dont thnik im that ignorant believe me i know about a lo of countries history but not for england, one time i made a proyect about england i like the soccer team manchester united and that was the only reason why i put it on my vacations list when i showed to my teacher in the U.S. he said why the hell would you like to go to england is crap, no colors no culture he said that Brazil was ok, spain and specially MEXICO

[DonMisap2]

@DonMisap2 to answer your comment you invaded Argentina taking the Falkland islands or should i say islas Malvinas second you invaded the american continent and you guys did somthing cruel taking indians lands after they gave food and treat you all very well yes you guys are invaders and you say that not all english people do the 4pm thing by that you are showing you guys do it. and that is not even steryotypes from mexico i ve heard some thing about mexico but not some thing they say so tha is

[DonMisap2]

@DonMisap2 a 100 % pure racism.

[DonMisap2]

@DonMisap2 i ll give a plus in 20 years at the rate Mexico is growing it will be richer than shitgland - up your as mother fucker!!!!
