Hey man I gave this a 4, get off my dick. I never said the fact that he's an atrocious human being should affect how I view his music.

no he's a super tight vegetarian. he was addressing chinese culture and society, obviously. obviously it was offensive to some degree, but you can't help but laugh at his remarks.

with the exception of the chinese comment, there's nothing that suggests he thinks any race is inferior to his own, which is more or less what racism is. and it's pretty obvious that the chinese comment was profound, yet was obviously directed towards the chinese's treatment of animals as a society, not as a whole race. it was a remark that was obviously going to be controversial and was idiotic to release, but context does play a role in these things

Morrissey's views range from adorably backward to offensively ignorant, don't look up to him.

I don't, really. It's just people tend to jump all over that shit, when most of it ends up not being bigotry but his elitism and his disdain for certain lifestyles, in the chinese case being animal treatment.



imo the worst thing he's done is force the festivals he has played to serve vegetarian options only or at least I recall that being the case with a specific one.

I don't know the BNP stuff was pretty bad



I think a lot of the times he's just trying to be cheeky (Bengali in Platforms, Suedehead etc) or trying to speak for the voiceless (Mute Witness being perhaps too literal an example) but I could see people being offended by half his solo catalogue, nevermind the gibberish he speaks in person.

i don't have a problem with him asking his venues to not serve meat if he's against it

it's not like people would starve to death
