The Great British Bake Off is facing backlash over its Mexican week

Many viewers Great British Pastries didn’t think his “Mexican Week” was that great.

Dozens of people took to social media to criticize the episode, which recently aired in both the UK and US, for alleged cultural appropriation. They cited his use of visual stereotypes such as co-hosts Matt Lucas and Noah Fielding dressed in a sarap and sombrero in the first scene, and puns—referring to the couple’s discussion of “Mexican jokes” to risk offending people—”not even Juan.”

One user tweeted“16 seconds into #GBBO’s ‘Mexican Week’ episode and I’m already pissed off.”

Another viewer wrote“I just want you to understand *how* bloody racist this is,” in response to a clip of Lucas shaking maracas in the episode.

Viewers also criticized the stars’ mispronunciation of dish names such as ‘guacamole’, ‘besos’ and ‘pico de gallo’ and how to co-judge Prue Leith comments that the cakes look Mexican because they have “bright colors”.
