steepholm... I'm racist about everyone."
That, at least, appears to be the gospel according to Top Gear and its merry band of Youtube groupies.
ETA: The video has been withdrawn by the BBC, but I've transcribed the relevant comments below.
ETA: As I write, there's a version with Spanish subtitles here.
ETA: Now that one's gone too! It's almost as if they don't want people to watch this clip...

A Mexican car is just going to be a lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat.
JM: They can't do food, the Mexicans, can they? 'Cause it's all like sick with cheese on it.
RH: Refried sick.
JH: Yeah, refried sick.
...
RH [disgustedly]: I'm sorry, but just imagine waking up and remembering you're Mexican.
JC: It'd be brilliant 'cause you could just go straight back to sleep again. That's why we're not going to get any complaints about this, because at the Mexican embassy the ambassador is going to be sitting there with the remote control going like this. [mimes slumping and snoring.]
