Pfft, I'd guess they laughed at the jokes made about Aussies during the same episode.

The TG guys make fun of everyone...including Brits.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

**** they have more to worry about in mexico than the damn BBC...

from A to los Zetas...

[DartorDemon]

yeah they sure are Xenophobic. Nothing says Xenophobia like riding across vietnam on S-box bikes where you're guaranteed to break down and interact with the local culture;

IE: That ambassador is a ****in moron.

[montessaj]

I had a feeling after seeing that episode someone would complain.

[dxgxmx]

I saw this a couple a days ago
Ignorance at its best

[newbaa]

Saw this too, and while it might have been a bit much, when do they not make fun of some nation/race/culture?
As for them drinking while driving during the Arctic episode..... WHO or WHAT the hell are they going to run into? A block of ice? A snow drift?

[DarkoNova]

I'm hispanic (not Mexican, but meh) and I still find it funny. Dude needs a sense of humor.

[absintheisfun]

people need to thicken their skins a bit. I'm sick and tired of everyone getting their feelings hurt when there is a joke made about them. I don't demand a public appology on behalf of short people when there is a comedian making jokes about them.

[sittingonacouch]

maybe our ambassador should demand an apology for every time Clarkson called us fat

[Ishmael]

It got people who haven't checked out the show or the car to do so. Now, would someone be so kind as to post a link to the car they were referrinng to?

[Ron.in.SoCal]

The reality is it's the ambassador's job to defend his national pride so I personally wouldn't bark back at him for it. In entertainment terms TG hosts are equal opportunity offenders and it makes for fun TV....

[rrunner68]

My dad always said...You should only be offended if its true.

[go-fish]

I find it funny some Mexicans are calling them racists. When did Mexican become a race.

Personally, I think it was over the top, but then again everything the do is over the top.

[Ron S]

Man I'm tired of the whining. When did humor become so wussified ? That show is just funny, you take away the candid wise cracks, and the show just becomes another vanilla, American, P.C. show, thats not worth watching. Man I miss the days when everyone was not such a cry baby!

[justasquid]

I say the only people who should be politcally correct are politicians...

Im just glad to see the real top gear is on for another season. All new episodes start monday.. and thats coming from a fat American..

[formula]

I'm more offended that people consider top gear an authority on cars when it's really just entertainment. I had a kid tell me that his 3000gt could outhandle a viper. His evidence? Top gear.

[crustysack]

for everyone sick of the political correctness watch this guy- Ralphie May- a true equal opportunity offender-

"its just a f3ckin joke"

[Scott Parkhurst]

It got people who haven't checked out the show or the car to do so. Now, would someone be so kind as to post a link to the car they were referrinng to?
