Yeah I am not sure what he said that is racist.

If I remember the "Final warning" Clarkson was under before yesterday was due to footage coming to light of Clarkson saying "N***er". It sounded pretty rascist to me, although I'd be prepared to say it was a slip of the tongue. But the weight of all the other sexist, mildy-rascist, disabilist and homophobic stuff he's said over the years leading up to it, didn't put it in a good light.

Plus recently nearly getting his film crew killed in Argentina and calling a Thai man a "Slope" for comic effect haven't endeared him to me any further. Also James May making a recent car documentary where he seemed to be ranting on about commies and hippies every 5 minutes made him sound rather unpleasant too.

So if after all that you go around punching TV producers, a suspension is on the cards.
