Why ?
Surely to not take the p1ss out of people equally is exclusionary, i.e have a laugh/joke with the white members of the audience but dont say anything to the Asian guy cos people may take it as being racist, I see this at work, we take the rise out of each other and do impressions of each other but are very careful when anyone of a minority background is around lest we be considered racist which I feel is wrong, you can take the mickey out of somebody in an affectionate way but the climate we live and work in is now so sensitive we dare not do this, people know when you are being unpleasant or mean.

If it's true and Clarkson is getting scared of the PC nutters we should all be worried...
Just watched it again. He doesn't seem that bothered to me. The asian guy looked a bit surprised for a second or two though. LOL - you've been 'Clarksoned'

Hopefully it will kick off, and they invite him back onto Radio 2. Remember the interview with that tool Jerremy Vine and his bell-end side kick George?

"That" comment could have been retaken 4 of 5 times and cut to it be PC 
and even edited out completely
Personally I believe it was left in ,as happened, to show that how a comment if the Guy had been "White" be deemed accpetable, but not if of Ethnic background. probalbly far more flack if Edited out or Frigged
IMHO
