it's the way May delivers it though. With Clarkson and Hammond their aggressive presentational style comes across as attacking some person and/or group and it's laughing at people.

With May though his self-deprecating style, and slightly bumbling on-screen persona, it comes across as him being baffled and we are laughing with him, at him. Not at the expense of whatever group and/or person has got him lost and flummoxed, again.

When you are dealing with potentially offensive views and humour it really is all in the delivery.

It actually bothers me more when James says offensive things. Clarkson is, well, Clarkson. But James is smart and thoughtful and ought to know better.

Anyway: it's always nice to hear from people in the fandom who don't think the sun shines out of the guys' arses and nothing they say is ever wrong.

Clarkson gets away with being an offensive prick most of the time. When May does it, it just makes me sad. He's better than that.

In response to this secret, I actually found myself saying out loud "But it's James". OMG.

He behaves like the offensive one on that show where he's traveling around France with the other fellow to drink the wine. Somehow after watching an episode of that, I was never surprised again when he was crude on Top Gear.
(To be clear, I do enjoy watching TG, and I like all three of the presenters.)

James can be just as offensive as Jeremy, but he's also more likely to accept criticism. Jeremy has a "no apologies" policy. James doesn't.

It does make me a little sad, though, whenever he says offensive things. Out of the three, he is the one who should know better.
