dont know what your views on this are, but i think it's just typical non-pc clarkson. no big deal. but the comical thing about this is that harriet harman is calling for his resignation. i was aware of her involvement with the paedophile exchange long before the daily mail brought it to the public's attention. she never condemned their efforts to lower the age of consent to 10 or their attempt to make photos of children legal. racism i can live with, paedophilia is in 'bullet to the head' territory as far as i'm concerned.
I bet he wishes he said ' dip dip bird shit. '

Why?
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
Went straight over my head. But that'll be like most 'racial' innuendo, not offensive untill some prat makes the link.......
Even now I cringe if a coloured bloke is nearby when I ask for a black coffee :rolleyes
Women have chocolate men have bikes.....
including ones who like chocolate.... 
i know people tend to think of racism as a colour thing but i've had some stick when i was younger for being half german. i have a number of polish mates i ride with and they put up with the abuse because it's sort of accepted. having delved into my family history, i found that my grandad was polish and my gran a romanian gipsy which would explain why my shed is full of bike junk!
If the Daily Mirror or their audio forensic "experts" hadn't known how the rhyme went they would never have figured out what he was trying to avoid saying. It was less clear than the mumbliest bits of "Jamaica Inn" that everyone was getting so worked up about a week ago. Also less offensive than his recent "slope" remark.. which was not only deliberate, but went to air.
At least the Mirror's own poll has backfired on them, scoring 79% in favour of his not being sacked over the "incident". Not that that'll stop them jumping on his next slightly off-colour utterance.
Hes a miserable old sod that dislikes everything and everyone equally, does this make the slur right?
Well in this day and age, no.
As a kid I remember using that rhyme along with that word when playing tag, and I am by no means racist.
Subconsciously he knew it was wrong by mumbling the whole sentence, but he just didn't consciously think it through!
I don't think he's racist- as I said before, he's just miserable.
I enjoy the programme and his old page he had in the sun.
Some say...

As quoted in the DAILY MAIL get yer fucking facts right you TORY PRICK ref:Harriet Harman
MT-09 Tracer for those who no longer can handle a BIG boy Fazer
Not that I'm a fan of (attention seeker, overpaid) Clarkson, but it's how you use words that matter, not what you say.
Didn't Harman call Danny Alexander a 'Ginger Rodent' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-sc...s-11658228 ?
Perhaps she shouldn't be such a hypocrite ?

Think, having watched the vid clip that was rather tongue in cheek at least she never used the word nigger, Clarkson has been pushing the boundaries for sometime now.
All I will say shame she was not the leader of the Labour party got more about her than most off those twats.

As a life long Labour supporter, and she used to be my MP, I'm glad she wasn't !
As this man pointed out, it's just a word. It's what you use it for that matters http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footbal...-word.html
Something still makes me think this is just another Clarkson self publicity stunt
IMO - These days you can't say jack shit without having to contemplate the fall out.
A spade is a spade yes? Nothing racist about the is there? Or is there?
When I was a kid all this racist crap never existed. (What I mean is walking on eggshells all the time.- as someone said 'cringing when asking for a black coffee - its Americano now?'
Also.. none of the people I went to school with had ADHD or whatever it's called - I believe that 1 in 10 kids now have it (10%)!
WTF? :wall

What Drax said basically. PC bullshit and people trying to elevate their own status by complaing. Feckin madness.........
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
Another problem with PC that I've encountered is that nowadays, if you can't be pigeon holed, you're ostracized.
Part of the reason I love being a biker.

How come there wasn't an outcry when he was going on about bikers near his home, he said " nothing a length of wire streched across the road won't solve" or was I the only person watching that program?
