Mexico demands BBC apology for offensive remarks
Mexico's ambassador in London, Eduardo Medina Mora, issued a complaint by the program "Top Gear" of Jan. 30, in which, he said, made comments "outrageous, unacceptable and incomprehensible" to the Mexicans and their culture.
London developed in the "Top Gear" issued on Jan. 30 on BBC2.
In this space, presenters "resorted to shameful insults, vulgar and inexcusable to remove prejudice against Mexicans and their culture as well as against its official representative in the UK," said Medina Mora.
"In a country like the UK which boasts of its tolerance and is home to people of many nationalities, it is totally incomprehensible and unacceptable that the main channel to allow three of the presenters make a display of prejudice and ignorance laughing at people and culture of our country with such vehemence, "the note.
The complaint adds that "although the occasional jokes are an essential component of the program, the humor never justifies xenophobia. This is not a matter of taste, but the basic principles."
Therefore, the ambassador hoped that the presenters to apologize publicly in that program. _______________________________
Part of the conversation of Top Gear, taken from TV news.
James May: "Guys, do any of you ever wanted a car in Mexico?".
Jeremy Clarkson: "I do."
May: "Well, I have good news, because there is one and is this (showing the car Mastretta screen) and is called tortilla.
Clarkson: "I can not believe that is called tortilla.
May:" Well, actually I can not remember his real name. "
Clarkson: 'Then you just invent the name tortilla.''
May: "Well, yes."
Clarkson: "you know".
May: "I forgot, sorry.
Mark Hammond:" Why would a car in Mexico? The cars reflect national characteristics are not they? German cars are sought to be well constructed and very efficient, fast cars and extravagant Italians, Mexicans cars will be lazy, innocent, bloated, overweight and reloaded into a wall and seeing a cactus asleep and covered with a sheet with a hole in the middle of using it as a coat. "
May:" It is interesting because Mexicans can not cook it? Everything seems to be spewed with cheese.
Hammond: "Vomit rehash."
May: "Yes, vomited rehash."
Clarkson: "How much does this Mexican sports car?".
May: "The Mexican auto rehash costs a little over 33,000 lbs.
Clarkson:" That's not much, because someone had to pay for development of this car. "
May:" Well, but they described as un auto con espacio, bien construido y con buena dirección".
Hammond: '¡Wow tiene dirección!, lo siento mucho pero sólo imagínate despertar y recordar que eres mexicano, ¡oh no!".
Clarkson: "¡Sería brillante, porque de inmediato puedes volverte a dormir! y seguir dormido todo el día, ¡oh soy mexicano!".
Hammond: "Eso es lo que voy a hacer todo el día".
Clarkson: "Por eso es que no recibiremos ninguna queja por esto. Porque la Embajada mexicana y el embajador van a estar sentados con su control remoto así (se reclina sobre su asiento y hace como si roncara). No se van a quejar, no pasa nada".
