I actually don't mind Clarkson so much. He's quite entertaining, and as ibs suggested is a character. He plays up to his image of a curmudgeonly Little Englander.
But I don't really think that we need racist, anti-poor or misogynistic jokes to make us take ourselves less seriously. I'd be more impressed if he targeted some of his ire on those who aren't already the butt of everyone's jokes and occupy a stronger place in our society not a weaker one than him.
