Fischer has had some deeply controversial political views, including a rabid and unapologetic anti-semitism.

In 1984, Fischer wrote to the editors of the Encyclopaedia Judaica asking for his name to be removed from the publication on account of him not being Jewish ‏² (http://home.att.ne.jp/moon/fischer/list/p_42/42_0.ht...). By Jewish Law standards he would be considered Jewish since his mother was. In recent years he has given interviews with Pablo Mercado and Grandmaster Eugenio Torre on the Philippine radio station Radio Bombo, in which he has confirmed his fanatical anti-Semitism - among other things, he has spoken of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, and has denied the Holocaust happened.
