The Simpsons
Should this article put in that Morrisey disliked his portrayal in the cartoon series The Simpsons? Rollo August (talk) 16:39, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Rollo August, to be honest, I'd say probably not. WP:NOTNEWS covers this - the article should summarise his entire career, we don't record every little spat. If he mounts a legal case against the production company, or mounts some sort of major campaign it would be different, but a couple of posts on a couple of blogs, which get coverage for a couple of days, aren't really relevant.

early period songwriters
The introduction has:
"He took on Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer as his main co-writers to replace Marr."
Stephen Street was in fact his main songwriter for Viva Hate and Bona Drag. Whyte and Boorer didn't take over until Your Arsenal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.180.163.46 (talk) 15:48, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Race and Racism accusations
I've brought the sections about the various accusations of racism over Morrissey's career into one place in the 'Political Opinions' section, rather than have them at various places in the timeline.
In doing this I've tried to maintain the careful balance between the accusations, his own statements and Morrissey's consistent denials of racism (including the public apology made to him in a libel settlement in 2012). I hope this makes sense.

- Can anyone provide some sources for some of the more openly and blatantly racist things he's said, like how there's a black conspiracy to push down white indie musicians or how he thinks of Chinese people as a subspecies? --157.21.14.65 (talk) 13:57, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm led to believe that his comment about Chinese people, rather than being a serious statement of belief, was an off-the-cuff reaction made after being shown video footage of animals in China being kept or slaughtered inhumanely. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 20:28, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
