Local fans tell me it’s part of their stint and as @caryroys points out, it works. I used to be a fan way back in 2008 when I was more Internet-naive and thought the same thing, but then stopped partly because of the racism from Mexico to India–where it made Clarkson a diplomatic liability (along with being his brash, culturally-insensitive self).
It is a long list and with last year’s issue, way before the Argentina controversy, he was on his way out. At least from the BBC.
