You're totally overreacting
> Has anyone read the lyrics of "MEXICO"? It's totally racist!
> Talking about us as we're some poor pitied people, whereas white people
> are all "alright"! Who the hell does Morrissey think he is? Now
> we're the new Bengalis? We're the new Asian Rut? Why is Morrissey always
> looking at race? Doesn't he know he's in America? I can't believe he could
> insult all his fans this way. Someone call up the NME!!!!
This is happening probably just as Morrissey suspected, but who thought it would happen after only three shows.
Why is it that as soon as Morrissey, or anyone for that matter, mentions race or gender people immediately jump to conclusions and overreact. It's absolutely horrid that people look for excuses to wrongfully accuse one another. If you saw, or heard Morrissey actually singing this song, you'd know that it's a song very much like his other songs, about the unfairness' in life, the judgments and assumptions that people automatically make. He's talking about exactly what you've just done by posting your message. You have no idea what Morrissey "means" by his lyrics, granted neither do I, however, I'm not the one going around making un-informed remarks. Instead of trying to create an audience for your personal opinions, why not keep them to yourself until you know for sure that you're absolutely correct? It's getting to the point where people of different races can't even *like* one another without people becoming suspicious. If Morrissey likes Mexicans, so what? Mexican people have no control over their own race, they didn't choose to be born Mexican. We have nothing to do with what race, age or gender we are. If Morrissey hates Mexicans, so what? Once again, we have no control over that. Since you can't change your race, why not opt to stop listening to someone who's views you don't approve of? Why make a fuss? If you don't like his new song, don't buy the album. Some people just don't feel comfortable when things get too real.
And by the way, I happen to be Mexican-American and in no way was I offended by Morrissey's lyrics.
