He chided the Chinese once for their open cruelty to animals and said he supported a centrist party that wants to reduce mass immigration into England as the country's culture and demographics are changing too rapidly. Some people say these opinions make him a racist, but they are by no means rare opinions in England and are genuine concerns for a variety of good reasons. Most Englishers agree with him, but as you probably know, the opinions of the press and the general public are two different solar systems these days. So the press make a shocked sensation of it whereas most people simply say, so what, Morrissey's correct.
The Mozzah has always loved classic black music and his favourite writer for years has been the mightily intelligent James Baldwin. In many ways M has always identified well with minority outsiders of all different stripes, be it colour, sexuality, shyness or alienation for whatever reason, so the prejudice accusations seem particularly cruel and absurd. I've seen him live a few times and always saw minorities at his concerts. Some people follow the sensationalist press and the agoraphobic crazies of academia in being way too over sensitive in what they construe as racism. Like anyone Moz has had his misanthropic moments, but they are often more wryly humorous than truly hateful. Due to his quirky uniqueness he has always somewhat been a misunderstood man.
No doubt people will post endless out of context examples of what they deem to be his 'bigotry' but take them with a pinch of salt. He has always attracted much love as well as unfortunate hate from those who do not understand him. I personally believe he thrives from both, needing one as much as the other, and actually often goes out of his way to incite these feelings, but that's another story. In short, Our Moz is almost monkish in sensibility, the polar opposite of a bigot.
