Jeremy Clarkson's latest scandal is turning out to be a bit more serious than his past errors, if his latest column in The Sun is to be believed. Clarkson has been in the headlines following the reveal of a Top Gear outtake, in which the 54-year-old presenter appears to (sort of) mumble the N-word.
This issue, along with the "slope" controversy from the end of March, is apparently about as much as the BBC can bear. According to Clarkson, if he makes "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time," the BBC will fire him, a fate he appears to have resigned himself to.
"It's inevitable that one day, someone, somewhere will say that I've offended them, and that will be that," Clarkson wrote.
"I use the F-word pretty much constantly and the C-word (clearly, the C-word is viewed very differently in the UK...) too, especially when I'm talking about James May. But the N-word. No. It's not in my lexicon," Clarkson wrote.
Now, we still aren't really sure what Clarkson said - the video uncovered by The Daily Mirror isn't anywhere near conclusive. Even the speech forensics expert hired by the tabloid was unsure, admitting to a British talk radio station she was only 75-percent certain that the N-word was said, according to BBC News.
"Isn't that what a court of law would consider grounds for acquittal on the basis of 'reasonable doubt'?" Clarkson wrote. That does seem like a pretty fair point, and reinforcement of what many of you thought when watching the video. It's just too difficult to know exactly what he said.
Even with Clarkson's well known (and some might argue, overused) sense of hyperbole, it's fairly clear that the curmudgeonly presenter remains in the hottest of waters following this latest episode.
If I'm reading the article right and your post correctly: he needs to get his life "in order" cause he uses the F word, C word and sometimes the N word?
I'm sure most of us have and you yourself have as well lol
First time I've ever heard of this "insult" for asians.
You can't be offended at something you don't know the meaning to or if you're not a pussy who gets offended at the smallest things
i never heard this either until now.

A derogatory term for people of Asian decent. It is an acronym for Silly Little Opium Peddling Easterner. Can be used when yelling at bad Asian drivers, mailmen who mace your dog, Chinese food delivery men, or in any other context in which one finds it applicable.

It was highly used during our parents/grandparents era (Clarksons generation) never knew it as the urban dictionary def
But wow the excuses being made up for him are insane
Its like when RKelly peed on and banged that 13/14yr old fans came out to defend him and now he's back to making MV's
