Rejected petition Shut down Top Gear, First 3 mins of the first episode is very racist.

The new series of Top Gear started this evening, 8PM 29th 5th 2016.

In the first 3 minutes of the episode, they see just how many indians they can put on one car.

This is a thousand times more racist than anything the BBC has claimed that Jeremy Clarkson has done..
