He's said racist stuff on the show before.
I download all the episodes illegaly so I don't give them ratings anyway. (that doesn't excuse me though, it's still hypocritical)
I'm glad peole are getting exposed left and right and would like to see lots more of it.

Here is his "apology"... really its more of an explanation
I don't understand why he wouldn't have just said teacher or tiger in the first place.

If i recite song lyrics with the n word am i racist?

Depends.
Rap music = you might not be racist, but why do it in public anyway?
i don't have a problem with white people saying the n word in rap lyrics while singing along, but at the same time that kind of shows a lack of class and situational awareness, which are things that make me stay away from people of all colors in general.
Anything not rooted in an appreciation for Black culture = racist. (when the n word is involved, before people try to say i'm saying that anything not related to black culture is racist)

Not surprised. He, along with James and Richard, have said a couple racist things on TopGear. I've heard them numerous times bashing on Mexicans and others.

Far from the first time Clarkson has been accused of making racist remarks:

A derogatory term/slur used for the purpose of describing a Vietnamese/Asian person. Describing the slope of their eyes. Usage began during the Vietnam War.
Never watched Top Gear. Definitely will not start now.
I wonder if Ninjahood will still watch?

Really ?
I haven't kept up with the show in years. I still watch an episode here and there, but with its immense popularity they've really turned away from being a car review program and into a cartoon of what a car show is supposed to be. It was always intended to be a satirical take on auto programs, but the later seasons are just ridiculous.

I think I heard it in "Gran Torino." I heard my friend call Asians "slants" and just
People man...

Derogatory term used towards Asians for their eyes or heads..
A term used back during the Vietnamese war...

Yeah based on that link CF posted looks like he's an equal opportunity offender.

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson says the BBC has told him he will be sacked if he makes "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time".

BS. Top Gear is probably their highest rated show and the show is nothing without him. Might as well watch Top Gear US :x

Pretty much. Though reciting something is a little different than saying " don't bring ... People To the set". Witch hunts do nothing but take the steam out of a proper cause. Go after the right people.

Clarkson has a long history of making racially offensive remarks and knew damn well what he was saying when he recited that rhyme.
His "apology" over the situation was pathetic.
