Top Gear aren't new to making crude comments and cause controversy, but the latest has angered an ambassador of Mexico, based in London.
Ambassador Eduardo Medina Mora filed a complaint to the BBC after a recent episode where one of the presenters said "Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat." (referring to the Mastretta), the presenters also discussed mexican food as "refried sick". The ambassador described those comments as "offensive, xenophobic and humiliating".
