🇧🇷[Chefes de gravadoras] talk about, ‘Oh, we should have diversity, diversity, diversity,’ which is the diversity of people you don’t know. And that just means – it’s just another word for compliance,” he said. “It’s the new way of saying compliance, diversity. You don’t see anything different anyway, it’s all conformity.”

Then the interviewer mentioned how the word “diversity” is “having the opposite effect,” and Morrissey agreed: “Yeah, because when people talk about diversity they don’t think about the great things we don’t have in common. And those things get ignored. And they’ve always made countries very interesting because you can travel to Germany, you can see the culture more incredible.”

“You go to Italy, you see the most incredible culture. Now they just want everything to be the same. So diversity means conformity,” continued the singer. “It doesn’t mean avant-garde or ‘let’s make really interesting and weird art.’ It means boxing everyone [dentro]🇧🇷

Diversity, I think, is a terrible word. Attach to anything and this situation is over. It’s a terrible word – terrible.
