What do you expect from an old British guy ? Hierarchy and social classes were drilled into him at birth. Elitism was par course

Get out of here with your lazy stereotypes. There still exist elements of social class in England, but it's not that different than in the US. If you don't think there's a Harvard/Yale elite there then you're fooling yourself. You just have to account for the the silly accents of the elite and absolutely shameless tabloid media the Brits have. The amount of BS and false shit storms they create is mind blowing. The rage industry has been stuck on 11 for decades and part of that rage is induced by trying to drive a class wedge in where no one really give a fuck anymore. When it comes to social classes times have changed quite a bit from the Victorian era..or even the 50s.
Clarkson is brash, probably a bit of a dick at times, and does love to poke the eye of the left wing media, but I don't think it's fair to call him racist/hobophobic/sexist/etc. It's stupid to say so just because he's an old public school educated rich Brit.
Edit: If you want to hate on a rich racist Top Gear presenter, then hate on Chris Evans. That guy does fit your stereo type.
