Resumen de United Kingdom: : Regulator decides that popular BBC programme included racially offensive material
Ofcom, the UK Communications Regulator, received two complaints about a racial reference in the very popular BBC programme �Top Gear�, a magazine series on motoring. The BBC is covered by the Ofcom Programme Code, rule 2.3 of which states that �[i]n applying generally accepted standards broadcasters must ensure that material which causes offence is justified by the context�. Such offensive material may include �discriminatory treatment or language� (for example, on the grounds of race).
