Jeremy Clarkson’s latest race-scandal is perhaps the most damning yet. The Mirror have obtained unaired footage from an episode of Top Gear where Clarkson appears to use the original version of the children’s rhyme “Eenie Meenie Miney Mo.” In the footage Clarkson is seen choosing between two cars before reciting the rhyme. Although it is not clear exactly what he says, he appears to be saying, “Catch a nigger by his toe.” It should be pointed out that Clarkson mumbles this line, which he does not do with the rest of the rhyme, and as such it’s unclear exactly what he’s saying. In the version broadcast, the word used was “teacher.”
In the wake of this many have come out in defence of Clarkson. A lot of the arguments used to defend Clarkson are quite honestly moronic, so I thought I’d take the time to go through some of the most used arguments in his defence.
