she apologizes and says that she was just “making a goofy face”…is she saying that Asians have goofy faces? I mean come on she says some really stupid things. Not only did they all look high as a kite in this picture one of them is drinking and Miley is like 16. Yes she has no talent and she is a self-praising cunt who thinks she has the power to threaten Radiohead’s fanbase by bitching on the radio about their lack of desire to meet her. Sorry Miley, you are not special, never have been, and just because 10 year old girls who don’t know what real talent is like you doesn’t mean you have talent. Just go away and get knocked up and fall off the face of the Earth.

To Asian people privilaged enough to live in the good ol US of A,please learn our culture,which includes making fun of our friends – it’s our way of showing affection.”

What an ignorant comment. I’m Asian and I was born here and so were my parents. I’ve been a fed employee working for the US government for my entire career. Before that I served my country for 4 years. I drive an american car. I’m more american than you ever will be. So don’t give me that “we’re privileged” to live here crap. You’re privileged for not saying this in someones face and getting your head dropped on the curb.

ANYWAYS, reminds me when Spain’s olympic bball team did the same thing. They were roasted for months. OBVIOUSLY, it’s not funny.

Are you serious people, if our president went around making slanted eye poses in his pictures, you think people would really just consider him just “having fun”? He had to apologize to the Mayer of Las Vegas, when he said that we shouldn’t be wasting our tax money in Vegas. Do you even know why? What he says has a big impact on our country, and if the president is saying no to Vegas, than most of us should really take it into consideration and not go to Vegas. By doing so, Vegas is losing money that would normally go to its other expenses, and the people living within the city. Obama did not mean to criticize Vegas directly, he was only using it as an example of a place that people waste money on, even though there are lots of other places where people waste even more money on. But he is a figure, he is famous, and people are watching his every move.
Bringing this back to Miley Cyrus, she is a figure (not important but influential to kids) , she is famous, and people are watching her every move, just like anyone else out there who is famous. You have to understand, people who make fun of other races are not FAMOUS, A KNOWN FIGURE IN ANY WAY, ISN’T INFLUENTIAL, AND IS NOT BEING WATCHED BY THE WORLD!!! If you want to be famous, than there are rules to follow, and if you don’t want to be speculated down to the dime of everything you do, than quit!! Miley Cyrus chose to be a singer/actor in which many people know about, than she should think before she acts. If she can’t handle it, than stop sing/acting since she sucks anyways.

GET OVER IT!!
They were all pulling funny faces in a picture, it was obviously not meant to be racist. It was amongst friends and was simply a funny photo that was not meant to be published over the internet. Why do people care so much anyway? If it was an asian or black person making fun at white people no-one would give a shit but because it is the other way round everyone is going crazy. It was not Miley being racist personally towards you, so you shouldn’t care. It is a private photo between friends that is pretty damn funny.

This picture is in fact very racist. Some people may view it as having some fun, but if Miley Cyrus painted herself black for Halloween and dressed like a slave, I am most definitely sure you guys will not consider it as her “having fun” on Halloween day and it is just a costume. This situation is the same, but due to the fact that we have very little knowledge of Asian struggles and accomplishments in our history compared to the African Americans who made civil rights possible, most people have identify this as “just having fun” and “she’s a little girl.” Would you let your child go around making fun of the African Americans or Hispanics? Why would it be wrong if Miley Cyrus was to wear a red bandanna on her head, or dress like a slave, but not if she is doing an UGLY slanted eye pose? She’s depicting a certain race with that gesture whether you agree or not, it it’s a negative gesture for asians.

And the comment on how “Asians are privileged” and asians should “learn our culture”, I’m sorry, but this continent that you are living on did not even belong to you in the first place. You guys took it away from the Native Americans by stripping them of any human rights and slaughtering them so they wouldn’t be able to fight back and start a war against “your culture”. You should go back to school and learn your history and realized how the minorities have helped expand your so called culture through trade, labor, inventions etc.

It’s sad that her personal life gets invaded and every move she makes will most likely be scrutinized negatively, but it’s something you have to take on when wanting to become famous. If she didn’t like it, she can quit, so we all wouldn’t make “such a big deal” about this situation. She is a very influential role model, and should suffer consequences when a mistake has been made. My ten year old niece idolizes her so much that she tries to get us to buy clothes that has an image of her on it or is something stylish that Miley would wear. When you fancy someone, especially the children that do idolize her, they feel that everything she does is “cool” and if Miley is making slanted eye poses, there will be many who will do it now also because of her. If she wasn’t famous, it wouldn’t matter, but she took on that role, so it matters alot.

Love Miley, she’s young. ALL people in picture should be left alone as far as I am concerned. If their asian friend is NOT upset then why should anyone eles be? Get over it.
