Top Gear star says BBC is obsessed with Black Muslim lesbians

London, Oct.9 (ANI): Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson took a swipe at BBC bosses on Thursday over their obsession with "Black Muslim lesbians".

Jezza's outburst came as he admitted being fed-up trying to explain why Top Gear does not have a female presenter. He went on to say women would make better Grand Prix drivers than men, reports the Daily Star.

He wrote in Top Gear mag: "The problem is that television executives have got it into their heads that if one presenter on a show is a blond-haired, blue-eyed heterosexual boy, the other must be a Black Muslim lesbian.

Speaking about Vicki, who presents Fifth Gear on Five, he said: "Last month, I got to know her as a driver. Jesus, she's good."

Clarkson, 49, added: "I ask the question: 'Why is Formula One more male than the lavatories at a Turkish steam room?'

"History dictates that woman are not capable of racing an F1 car. But history is wrong. Women can fly air- liners and they could fly fast fighter jets too, if they didn't have wombs, which tend to come off in high 'G' turns - I'm not making that up. What's more, women can multi-task. And it's why I'd be hopeless," Clarkson said. (ANI)
