Morrissey describes the Chinese as a 'Subspecies'
 
He seems to be upsetting people...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010...species-racism

... Morrissey, a vegetarian and animal rights advocate who last year abandoned the stage at the Coachella festival in California because of the smell of cooking meat, described the treatment of animals in China as "absolutely horrific", referring to recent news stories about animals in Chinese circuses and zoos. He told interviewer Simon Armitage: "Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare? Absolutely horrific. You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies."

more importantly, why should anyone care that much about what morrissey says that it actually "upsets" them? whether he's being serious or not (i've always had the feeling he pulls this kind of crap for the reaction), he's certainly entitled to his opinion, however fucked it may sound. he's essentially just a pop star after all. people blow up these comments like he's a politician.

it's just a big bowl of "whatever" to me.

Morrissey is a good 8 or 9 out of 10 on the douche factor.

What's so bad about Morrissey? He's like porkmarras if he were rich as fuck with millions of dedicated fanboys at his disposal.

alteredcourse 09.04.2010 03:53 AM

well, they do eat babies. subspecies, or brilliant piece of population control ?

Genteel Death 09.04.2010 05:07 AM

Ha.
Except the fact that I wouldn't have a problem eating my own fans, even if they were Chinese.

He refers to the Chinese as a "subspecies" in regards to their treatment of animals. And I totally agree with his sentiment. Many animals are in danger of extinction solely because of Chinas laughable alchemical methods of dealing with medical ailments and diseases. Eye of newt, wing of bat, toe of frog, and all that ridiculous shit.

If you eat baloney there's a good chance you do it without even knowing.

Toilet & Bowels 09.04.2010 08:49 AM

About the douchey wanker? You figure it out.

The problem is that Morrissey is a subspecies of twat under a different genus.

Glice 09.04.2010 09:21 AM

Does anyone else think 'douche' is a shit insult? Morrissey deserves better than that, whichever side of the fence you sit on.
