Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson says he’s received a “final warning” from the BBC after British newspaper The Mirror claimed he used racist language while filming the show.
The paper says he used the n-word while reciting Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe to choose between cars in a Top Gear outtake.
It’s not even the first time this year Clarkson’s been in trouble for casual racism: in March he described a Thai man who appeared on an episode of Top Gear as a “slope”, and last month the BBC was forced to apologise to the Mexican ambassador to the UK after Clarkson called Mexicans “lazy”, “feckless” and “flatulent”.
In a video response, he said “I’ve been told by the BBC that if I make one more offensive, remark, anywhere, at any time, I will be sacked.” Can someone please send a memo to the rich old white dudes of the entertainment world and tell them to just shut up?
