It is important to note that there is no consensus on whether or not System of a Down is racist. Some people believe that the band is racist, while others believe that they are not. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not they believe that the band is racist.
Here are some of the lyrics from "Chop Suey!" and "BYOB" that have been interpreted as being racist:
* "I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide."
* "I cry when angels deserve to die."
* "Why don't you just fuck off?"
* "Why don't you just end your life?"
Some people believe that these lyrics are offensive to Asian and Middle Eastern people because they use negative stereotypes about these groups of people. For example, the lyric "I don't think you trust in my self-righteous suicide" could be interpreted as a reference to the stereotype that Asian people are more likely to commit suicide. The lyric "I cry when angels deserve to die" could be interpreted as a reference to the stereotype that Middle Eastern people are terrorists.
However, the band has denied that these lyrics are racist. They have said that their songs are not meant to be offensive and that they are simply trying to express their views on political and social issues. For example, the band has said that the song "Chop Suey!" is about the pressures of living in a society that values conformity. The song "BYOB" is about the war in Iraq.
Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not they believe that System of a Down is racist.
