lol as a comedian I am quite sure Steve Coogan is perfectly qualified to speak about how funny or unfunny certain 'jokes' are tbf
Yeah he is a comedian. But he ain't no mexican. He seems to be offended by what they have said...but why? Because he likes to think himself as some sort of good person who is not rascist and he must show this by his statements. Seems silly considering all white people have that deep inside feeling of superiority over other races. Althought not one white man will admit it...Will you?
maybe he just likes enchiladas and was offended by their comments about the cuisine.
Oh I didn't think from that perspective. Mexican food is shit but.
give me some of that tasty northern irish food any day!

also if you read Clarkson's column in the Sun you will realise how much of a worthless human being he is.

That's basically the gist of what Coogan's saying.

The likes of 'Mexican's are lazy hurhurhur' is just lowest common denominator shit, serves no purpose other than to make you look like an unintelligent dickhead
what is of value and wisdom for one man seems nonsense to another.

I'm speaking as a non-white and one who lives in San Diego, 15 minutes across the border of Mexico.

Unless you don't import anything agricultural-related from the US (or more importantly imports from the lower US that was Mexico before), or you eat dust, you need to switch your brain and stop thinking that no one is doing you a favor. The food that I mostly eat, were worked by Mexicans. No white person wants to work in the field, they just want an easy job that will pay them big. Lazy asses*

*stereotype that could be true no matter how you want to pick the context

Someone's feeding this country and others, if they all stopped working and be the lazy shits they are, the obesity rate could go down. That's actually a good thing. But eating is a matter of preference, so it isn't their fault.

Huddersfield. The multiculturalism of Huddersfield has taken the ability away for a friendly "hello" or a bit of banter. Or am I in the wrong thread?

Good article from steve coogan. Sums it up nicely. Clarkson clearly has these views to a certain extent and then purposely exaggerates them to get publicity and live up to his persona.
Personally am hoping they push their luck and get sacked.

First time I have seen that Stewart Lee thing, was watching it thinking this is shit he is just as bad until he said the 'its only a joke like on top gear'. Pure class.

That picture :cornlol:


Gnome's just another gnome man arguing about human affairs. Which isn't his battle, as he, like most gnomes has never experienced human affairs properly. I would be able to tak his points had they been from a human. Rather than a gnomein his castle pointing out how other people are doing wrong to other people. Quit whinging gnome man.

I have recieved and acknowledged your point of view. Although I disagree.
