Clarkson: Racist
Discussion
I'm not sure who's worse? people saying Clarkson is racist (when the truth is he just knows how to push peoples buttons and VERY little of what he does seems without prior thought - this included) or the people who defend him by pointing out English people used to call black dogs ????

Wow, they managed to find 4 people to accuse him of racism, including one with a made up name. Proof conclusive!
We have an East Asian Lowland Terrier, named Slope. Guess we are racist now? He loves to slope off and hide watches in cracks, hence his name...
I bet the one with the made-up name is Clarkson.We have an East Asian Lowland Terrier, named Slope. Guess we are racist now? He loves to slope off and hide watches in cracks, hence his name...

Is it better to be a racist or to make crass racially-tinged remarks with the aim of drumming up publicity? Neither are particularly admirable really are they?The second lot are worse btw.

The HIGNFY thing was amusing and awkward.
Not quite sure how Henning took it, he was smart to play it the way he did though, got the laugh....there was a tint of menace in the 'mate' there though?
I didn't realise Henning Wehn was on it. I'll have to see if I can find it online now.Not quite sure how Henning took it, he was smart to play it the way he did though, got the laugh....there was a tint of menace in the 'mate' there though?
I saw a photo of JC's black dog somewhere online earlier. It's a bit silly, reminds me of the black Labrador in the Dambusters film and that woman that's had her boobs and teeth done on the NHS that's about to abort her unborn so she can appear on Big Brother.
I once knew someone who had a dog called Dougie Dogally, after Sportscene presenter:

I'm not sure how Didier Dogba is any different. People were more rational in the 80s......
