Lots of recent BBC controversies .
This is one of the more amusing ones, although the cadence of Bogus news coming out of the BBC is increasing over the last 17 years.

On 30 January 2011, the BBC broadcast an episode of its motoring TV show Top Gear during which presenters referred to
Mexicans as both "lazy" and "feckless" and Mexican food as "refried sick".[98] The broadcast caused many complaints in Mexico, including in newspapers and websites, while a motion of censure was considered in the Mexican senate and the BBC Spanish-language website BBC Mundo received protests.[98] Richard Hammond, one of the presenters, expressed doubt that there would be any complaints against them as, he alleged, the Mexican ambassador would be asleep.[98]
British MPs described the comments as "ignorant, derogatory and racist" and called on the BBC to say it was sorry.[98] Mexico's ambassador in London also requested that the BBC say it was sorry for the "offensive, xenophobic and humiliating" comments.[98][99] The legal firm who previously pursued the media in the Shilpa Shetty case involving comments in Big Brother have engaged clients for the case.[100]
I feel fortunate to have grown up when my parents and grandparents had experienced the depression and WWII.
They were intelligent educated people, who served in the military, built aircraft, observed rationing and blackouts, etc.
My mother's side were Republicans, who openly spoke well of FDR. Amazing--two competing ideas.
