The song is neither racist nor homophobic. The story - from the standpoint of its narrator - is one of marginalization and isolation. The message neither elevates whites to a position of superiority, nor condemns homosexuals/homosexuality. The "small town white boy" is expressing anger and uses offensive terms. The song is about recognizing and hearing that anger, without necessarily endorsing or approving the racist and homophobic undertones.
Nice spin. It's pretty racist. This post was edited on 3/29/16 at 3:33 pm

It's narrated from the viewpoint of a racist, but that does not necessarily make the song itself racist. I don't agree with Baloo that it is autobiographical; or even if it is, I think it's talking about a past Axl and not the present narrator.
