Most of Mexican people have not watched this program, but if they turn on the TV and watch it for the first time, it may result an annoying experience because of the mock of the Mexican food and other particular things done by TV presenters. First of all, either they don’t know anything about Mexican food or just invented disgusting and unacceptable comments about it when said Mexicans don’t have food or their food looks like a vomit with cheese. They should measure or stop these kind of comments and have documented by Internet or watch other videos about Mexican cooking. In Mexico we have a great variety of traditional food that has been awarded as “Patrimonio Inmaterial de la Humanidad” by the UNESCO in November 2010.
On the other hand, when Richard Hammond commented about a particular brand of car reflects the national characteristics, it is clear he doesn´t know about Mexican people. I think people in large cities in Mexico don´t have the stereotype known outside the country for other people around the world (a fat man sit sleeping next to a cactus wearing his big hat). In this point, I disagree with this guy because, according to technical specifications and some pictures I have seen of the Mastretta, it is an sport, beautiful and well done car made in Mexico.
The question then is, how dare one person say or have an opinion about people or things if he/she doesn´t know the real life in that particular place or country?
