Top Gear – which is seen in more than 100 different countries around the world and makes the BBC tens of millions of pounds – recently came under pressure following Clarkson’s “joke” about a Thai man standing on a bridge.

At the completion of a bridge-building task over the River Kwai in Thailand, Clarkson commented to fellow presenter Richard Hammond: “That is a proud moment.”

Then, just as an Asian man is seen walking into shot, he added: “But there’s a slope on it.”

I have never heard people using slope as a racist term before. Is this just not common in the USA?
