Miley Cyrus is offending people again. This time, it’s the Asians she has decided to attack, at least that is what the OCA (a group committed to advancing the social, political and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans) is stating after a photo surfaced of Miley and some random people on the internet. In the photo, Miley is seen tugging at the corners of her eyes making them slanted.
In a statement to TMZ, the OCA states:
“The photograph of Miley Cyrus and other individuals slanting their eyes currently circulating the Internet is offensive to the Asian Pacific American community and sets a terrible example for her many young fans. This image falls within a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent…Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans.”
Even though one of the randoms in the photo with Miley is Asian, the OCA states that does not make her actions acceptable.
This is so shocking to me since Miley usually serves as a moral compass for us all: dating a grown man when only 16, taking half-nude photos of herself with her cell phone, and posing topless on the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine—this sounds just like my sweet sixteen.
Miley has yet to release a statement regarding the photo, but I am sure Billy Ray Cyrus will release something about her being very mature for her age while stating over and over again that she is also a good Christian.
I totally just realized that one of the d-bags in the picture has a glass of wine. I don’t know who he is or even care, but he sure doesn’t look like someone’s dad which leads me to think he is hangin’ with 16 year old Miley. She’s totally on the rehab waitlist.
Is that Adam Yoo from Disturbia and Nick and Nora in the pic?
what the heck this is not being racist it having fun with friends and making faces (you know the meaning of fun right if you don’t look it up) making faces in a pic is totally not being racist so leave Miley alone
u ppl r just jerks like leave her alone let me guess ppl you give out pictures of u and Ur friends bein retarded right well i know i don’t so leave her alone she’s a great person
It is racist. I am Asian and I think this is rather offensive.
hey Marissa this can not be offensive 2 u its just a laugh nearly everybody on the planet does it even a lot of asians do it
Hey angry teen…are u f**king stupid or what, maybe ur just like her, i’m Asian i still think this is offensive, i agree with Marissa..wtf is wrong with you…!!!!
i agree with F*** you and Marissa, this is offensive to them and any other asian, and i’m hipanic…i think the miley cyrus needs to come and experience a real teens life, and see if she likes it, hey Mily F***ing Cyrus come here to Coral Gables High School to see how long it takes for u to get stabbed!!
well,i don’t know if i’m asian (i live in europe and my friends think i resemble asians,and I LOVE ASIA)but i think that it IS offensive.i mean mileys face is not really friendly in this photo,it’s kinda…cold and..none of those people look like they are joking!besides,miley is a celebrity and everyone knows everything about her so it’s time for her to think before doing something so stupid..
