I wasn't offended by it. I'd never heard the phrase but watch it again and tell me that it honestly wasn't said as a joke?
If he knew the term, made the joke and then got corrected then they deserve all they get.
It's not really a case of whether any of us were offended or not but the BBC shouldn't be knowingly putting racially offensive stuff out in the of comedy.
If that's the case, get Chubby Brown or someone with comic timing on rather than Jezza and the Hamster.

I like his humour, in some angles he reminds me of my Grandad, God rest his soul.
Having said that, there's been 1 or 2 moments in this series that have been very, very close to the wind, much more than I'd expect from the BBC. I didn't connect this one though. The 2 part 'xmas special' in Burma was superb on many levels. I never even realised the word slope could be used in this way, pretty lame though even from a joking point of view

I believe the facts to be as follows:
1. It was a deliberate joke.
2. The producers were daft in the current climate, to leave it in.
3. Hardly anyone has heard of this 'slur'
4. Nobody was genuinely offended.
5. The 'film star' is looking for publicity.

Stewart Lee sums up Clarkson perfectly when he said he has 'outrageous politically incorrect opinions which he has for money.'
