What Has Jeremy Clarkson Gone and Done Now?

Jeremy Clarkson, the car-loving BBC version of Don Cherry, has been suspended by the Beeb.

Clarkson apparently had an argument with a producer over an incident where he recited the common nursary rhyme:

Eeny, meeny, mynie, mo
Catch a nigger by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny, meeny, mynie, mo.
As per the Guardian, Clarkson mumbled through the immortal second line of the song, but that wasn't good enough for the diversity enforcers. Anti-liberty activist Aliya Mohammed declared "racism is illegal".

Possibly related: Clarkson is in negotiations for a new contract with the BBC, and Clarkson's company made about $1.2M in profits last year despite selling the rights to Top Gear to the BBC for almost $10M a few years back.
