I usually judge the art not the artist, a bad guy like Caravaggio left something that enriches and improves the beauty of our world. Said that Clapton wasn't Caravaggio and I agree that he was particulary hateful about immigrants and the covid. I am not very impressed by his work, even with the Cream. Personally I have the same nuisance toward Roger Water and his position against Israel, definitely anti-semitic IMO. But art is art, artists are human beings, being a good man doesn't make better paintings or better quartets as supporting good causes doesn't make better music. In general as we judge art within his historical and artistic context, we should judge the artist, no surprise that in the works of men living in times where racism, machismo, slavery, ecc, were common sense we could find these elements. For sure Clapton does not live in the times of Suleiman the Magnificent or Elizabeth I, so he is unforgivable.
