If you were to follow the same argument, you could also argue that the continued popularity of Top Gear is an equally interesting statement by society about it's stance on (persistent) racial slurs.
- ris 11y agoI don't think racial slurs are Top Gear's primary appeal. They're just slipped in by the hosts (and clearly with the approval of the production team in some circumstances) as a (quite sinister) wink-and-nod to appear chummy with viewers who "think like them". It validates their behaviour and views.
- jarcane 11y agoIndeed you could. There's more than enough evidence to bear it out.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 11y agoIt should come as no surprise that there's a huge segment of society whose stance on racial slurs is 'more, please.'
