You have started off a fairly complex debate here as always Mr Git.
So, other than castigating someone for insulting your beloved ..er newspaper, and discussing the intricacies of the terms "slope eyes"/"slant eyes"/"limeys" and "little Englander" what do you have to say to the other responders eg. Andy Hughes' first response where he addresses the issue that Mr Clarkson may not have intended to make a racial slur, or SP's observation that it may be a pun based on Mr Clarkson's 'history' ...or Anne's suggestion that "soon we won't be able to say anything for fear of upsetting people" and that the Duke of Edinburgh may have once said "slitty eyes" to someone Chinese?
