Top gear racism row (1 Viewer)

Errr.....where is the racist element in the word slope? I am bemused that is all.

Errr, about which part? My not knowing 'slope' is a derogatory term, or the fact that 'slope' is a derogatory term?

Neither did I. Apparently it is though.


slope


A derogatory term/slur used for the purpose of describing a Vietnamese/Asian person. Describing the slope of their eyes .



The Top Gear guys must have known this otherwise why make the joke?The whole point of the joke surely, the double meaning. Otherwise there is no joke.
