In my opinion, I think hosts at top gear don't have any information about Mexican culture at all, so, from my point of view, they can't make any comment about Mexican food and people. First, they have no idea about food heritage in our country, because not everything is tortilla as they believe. Even corn is the base of Mexican food there is a variety of dishes that don't require corn. On the other hand, they suppose that stereotypes are true, but it's false.Speaking personally, Mexican aren't lazy, we work very hard, and everybody can realise in the number of people who travel to USA and look for a job and try to have a better life.
On the other hand,I would say that Anthony Bourdain's travel is a better idea to avoid stereotypes, because he decided to visit Mexico and eat their food before giving an opinion. But I disagree because he just visited places on the street and he ate fat food, also he stayed on a cantina drinking tequila, I think it contributes to stereotypes, because people from other countries can think we always eat junk food and that we are drunk people. In my opinion we could've choosen better places to visit and give Mexico a better image.
