Morrissey has refused to retract a statement referring to Chinese people as a "subspecies".

Controversial singer Morrissey has been accused of “crude racism” after describing Chinese people as a “sub-species” because of their treatment of animals.

Morrissey has donated £28,000 (€31,000) to an anti-racism music festival just four months after the storm over his alleged comments on immigration in an 'NME' article.
