BBC presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have been attacked for their anti-Mexican jokes on Top Gear.

On last week's show the trio joked about the performance of Mexican cars.

Richard Hammond said they would be "lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep, looking at a cactus, with a blanket with a hole in the middle as a coat".
